The research is a descriptive study in relational survey model.

One-way analysis of variance was used to determine whether the career and decision-making difficulties of the students differed according to the grade level of the total and subscale scores. Pearson Moments Multiplication Correlation Coefficient technique was used to analyze the relationship between the sub-dimensions of the students' career decision making difficulties and resilience.

As a result of the research, it was found that there was a negative negative correlation between the resilience of high school students and career decision making difficulty, and the highest correlation with the total score of career decision making difficulty was the determination to tackle the sub-dimensions of resilience. When we look at the relationship between resilience and sub-dimensions of career decision-making difficulty; It was found that there was a weak negative correlation with the lack of preparation and inconsistent information subscale, and a moderate negative relationship with the lack of information sub-dimension. According to the research findings, resilience predicts the total and sub-dimensions of career decision-making difficulties. In addition, resilience predicted the lack of preparation, lack of information and inconsistent information sub-dimension, and had the most effect on the lack of information sub-dimension. According to the results of the study, there is no significant difference in career decision making difficulties according to gender.
