If she wants to be a scientist, she should study whatever she is
really, truly interested in. If she doesn't want to live and breathe
it, she should do something else. The scientific world (and every
other carreer) has plenty of uninspired 9-5ers.

In a location she likes.

This is from someone who's touched on just about every major field of
science, from physics to botany. Start with what you love and stick
with it!
