Explanation:

In general, educational attainment affects earnings and job opportunities. A high school education typically provides less specialized skills compared to technical, professional, or higher education. Technical education offers vocational skills, professional degrees offer advanced expertise. So, with only high school, earnings are lower and job choices are more limited than those with more education (like technical or professional). Option A is wrong as technical education has more specific skills. Option B is wrong as technical education leads to better earnings than just high school. Option C is wrong as professional degrees have much higher earning potential. Option D correctly reflects the impact of just a high school education on earnings and job options.

Answer:

D. annual earnings will be lower and job choices will be more limited.
