Not all Astrophysics majors continue on for a phd. Most do not. But it is a well respected major with good opportunities for its graduates in the corporate and government sectors as well, which may be more aligned with her interests in 4 years.
One of my kids studied astro. Didnt think she wanted the lifestyle or committment of a phd-the field does attract introverts, and the work is often fairly socially isolated. She was delighted to have studied it and was recruited for jobs by employers.
