Smile, about all you can do is encourage her in her efforts and be ready to help her scan the want ads if she doesn't 'make it big'. At least she has the guts to try. People don't like to have their dreams taken away from them, they have a tendency to become very angry if you try. If she's your friend, and you want to keep her friendship, I'd suggest staying as neutral as possible. If you 'actively' encourage her, try to help and it fails, she might 'blame' you. If you try to discourage her, she'll be mad at you for stepping on her dream. Looks like a no-win situation from here. But I do say positive is always better than negative, and who knows? She might make it. Weirder things have happened in this world.
