Major decision points in this question:
1. May vs Might
- May expresses "possibility", Might refers to usually a "hypothetical" situation
- Since the sentence expresses possibility usage of MAY is correct
Therefore B is incorrect
2. Parallelism
- The correct structure is:
Any job may:
- instill a valuable sense of self-worth
- open doors to better jobs in the future
C violate this correct structure with ING modifier, which changes the meaning of the sentence.
D is a run-on sentence with no working verb in the second part.
E violates parallelism by putting "may open" and "giving" together.
So IMO A is the correct answer.

(A) may instill a valuable sense of self-worth and open doors to better jobs in the future -- a correct choice with proper parallelism
(B) might instill for them a valuable sense of self- worth and to open doors to better jobs in the future-- may instill and to open are not //.
(C) may, in them, instill a valuable sense of self-worth, opening their doors to better jobs in the future-- their seems to have no proper antecedent. It can't refer to the people because people do not have doors.
(D) opening the door later for a better job and giving them a valuable sense of self-worth now -- A fragment
(E) may open the door for a better job later and giving them a valuable sense now of their self-wor may open and giving them is un//.
