I'm a lefty and learned to play right handed. The man I studied with would not let anyone play "Backwards"... It has actually become a benefit over the years as my left hand was always strong.
As far as not starving if you become a bass player, they are hard to find ( here in Chicago) but if you want to make a living in music become a ferocious reader. You"ll always get work.
Yes, if she wants to play, I should have her learn right-handed. She should do okay. And that's true about reading. I'm not much of a reader, but my husband is. He's gotten some great gigs and played with lots of incredible musicians. It opens a lot of doors if you can come in and play well by sight.
