University degree if she can get a scholarship.
Otherwise:
- customer service
- data entry
- insurance 
- car industry (non-mechanic)
- billing

Road construction is a great idea!

As a single girl/woman, from 14 to 35 years, I worked in 
sales (department store), 
then office assistant (clerical), 
one year study for matriculation, 
then back to another office (public srvice/government) 
then 2 years as a lay missionary teacher (untrained), 
clerical work in hospital clinical chemistry, 
then 3 years social work (untrained) for a church org., 
then cashier in dept. Store cafeteria, (Manchester)
then receptionist in a psychological counselling service (London), 
medical receptionist in general practice, 

then MARRIAGE.

After marriage some p/t work in a boarding school laundry, then kitchen, 
housecleaning for aged persons, 
then respite care for physically/mentally disabled.

While in my final job before marriage, I studied at University for one term but saw the worthlessness of the content.

Another possibilty for single women is nursing.

I understand the arguments for women having a backup career (possible life-long singleness, widowhood, injured husband, etc.) but you also have to consider human nature. The more the woman invests in her education and career, the harder it is to give it up later. And even in a best-case scenario, that very safety net will make a wife feel less scared to face the big bad world, if she were to divorce her husband for example. We all know how spouses can get on each others nerves from time to time. What if she declined in her spiritual life, or even ceased to fear God? But everyone fears consequences in this world, for example being homeless and hungry. So with that added safety net, she would likely be more dominant, less submissive, and in general less obedient to her husband.

 It at all.
My own daughter has a masters degree.  When she married and had a child, she quit work.  There was never a question in her mind whether she would quit or not.  Her husband is a good man.  
All depends upon upbringing and if she cooperates with the upbringing or not.

Precisely.
 
My daughter trained at University to become a registered nurse, then worked for several years in two hospitals. She left work to marry a good man and to have children. She is still contentedly bearing children. The thought of going back to nursing does not cross her mind, though her nursing knowledge and skills come in handy.
