Is there much of a future, or a living, in just doing small household jobs? Might she be better off working for a firm which does mainly domestic work, such as rewiring houses rather than working on construction sites, in order to build confidence in that area before going it alone?
Oh, I would think so - try getting hold of a trades person these days!
However, your suggestion of working for a firm which does mainly domestic work or even a medium sized building firm is a sensible one, learning the practicalities.
She will need to learn the business side of running a small firm too.
