Curious what that profession actually is, is it a wife/"homemaker"? Or a paid profession that I couldn't find on Google? I really tried to find that phrasing but in my defense I'm drunk and also Google sucks nowadays.
I would guess she is simply a girl who hasn't left home yet?
Today she would probably be a student, but she isn't studying anything. Maybe she plans to become a housewife rather than train for a career, as that was a viable "career path" in those days.
I think maybe a kind of servant that work around the house as in when a fancy lady would say "You must be exhausted from all that fox trotting! I'll have the girl run you a bath" 🤷
