I have a friend who is a school counselor at a school for “poorly behaved” kids. 90% of the time they’re “poorly behaved” because their home life is shit. She absolutely loves her job and has helped kids who otherwise would never graduate get their diplomas. She got her masters in social work or something similar, but that’s an option too to help disadvantaged kids.

To start you’ll need an estimated budget. What kind of rent can she afford? How will utilities/groceries be split? If she does go back to school, how will that effect the first two questions? Does she anticipate needing to make any large purchases soon (I.e. will she want to buy a car)?

Start there, see what y’all’s options are.
