First comment: One doesn't have to have a job, one can be in work force training or school.
Second comment: She can be in work force training, or perhaps a school that can meet her work requirements i.e. an online thing.
Third: Who says you need a computer job or a job as a secretary? Anybody can get a job in housekeeping. If you can't, go to school, or get the training you need to get a computer job.

Yep; there's no specific requirement about the TYPE of job. As for the job market, I'm sure there are plenty of minimum wage jobs to be had. And, if they don't like that type of work, they can work themselves up into something more desireable (like the rest of us have done).
