question 18 of 20
one benefit of continuing your education after high school is that you will most likely:

a. have a better work - life balance.

b. earn money right away.

c. change your academic major before you graduate.

d. have higher earnings over time than someone with a high school degree.

Explanation:

• Option A: Work - life balance isn't a direct, typical benefit of continuing education post - high school. It depends on many factors beyond just education.
• Option B: Continuing education (like college) usually means investing time in learning first, not earning money right away. Those who enter the workforce directly after high school are more likely to earn money immediately.
• Option C: Changing a major is a personal academic choice and not a primary or most likely benefit of continuing education.
• Option D: Statistically, individuals with higher levels of education (post - high school) tend to have higher earnings over their lifetime compared to those with only a high school degree. This is a well - documented outcome of further education.

Answer:

D. have higher earnings over time than someone with a high school degree.
