Get her to specialize in big data, analytics, data science, machine learning, Internet of Things and she'll have companies fighting over her. She'll never be without work. I work for a big data firm and we can't hire enough of these people. Our clients hire our people for really tough projects at unbelievable rates.

Have her learn the Hadoop Ecosystem.

These are where future careers will be -- get her exposed to these areas early and see if any capture her interest.

This is precisely the wrong way to go if she intends to have a long career. "Big Data" is a passing fad. Analytics, yes, but because software engineers need it for assessing their systems.

Hadoop won't exist in 10 years! So then what is she supposed to do?
