This is really tough to answer. What subject does she want the degree in? Does she care about university prestige? It's probably best to find an area, then find a school, then we can help a bit more. The only universal feedback i've seen on graduate vs undergrad is be prepared for more writing. In my case, ALOT more writing. The positive side is it's all on topics you enjoy (well in your subject area at least).
Alot of others recommend work before graduate degree, and if it's an either / or type situation and she has a job offer, go for it. In most cases it's not, and I would recommend people go directly into a graduate program if they know they like the area. For me it made a huge difference. I was already in the frame of mind, and my undergrad material was really fresh.
