On student-respondents’ correlation of the level of adjustment and sex, and career problems are significantly correlated with .015 at 0.05 significance level. Hence, the hypothesis which states that “There is no significant relationship between the level of adjustment on career problems and sex” is rejected. Relationship found between the areas of adjustments and the student respondents profile in terms of age, stands, family size, parents’ educational attainment, and family monthly income are not significant. A significant relationship exists between student-respondents’ sex and career problems. For possible referral of students, a school administrator may create a partnership with various institutions or agency that cater counseling and therapy. Campaign awareness that will help students identify early symptoms of depression that commonly leads students to commit suicide.
