When she's old enough, getting any kind of job there (even in the kiosk) is sure to help her - you gotta start somewhere! The course where you can take in and look after sick animals is sure to help too, any experience with a range of animals would help her. Plus when she's old enough, work experience would be a great benefit. I second doing zoology/veterinary science at Uni, but I reckon she'll really need to get her foot in the door if it's hard to get a job there. Good luck to her!
