109 out 170 students or 64.12% preferred to continue their school after their secondary education 150 out of 170 teachers or 88.24% wanted their students to finish/graduate senior high school under the K to 12 Curriculum. 75 out of 170 parents or 44.12% preferred their children to pursue their tertiary education.

50 out of 170 students or 29.41% pick out careers under Artistic even not knowing what the junior and senior high school can do with these student preferences 20 out of 170 teachers or 11.76% have a 95-100% breathe and depth know-how on junior and senior high school which are also similar to the 50% and below. 59 out of 170 parents or 34.71% wanted their children to enroll on the Social careers (community service, education, medical service, religious activities) not knowing also what the junior and senior high school will something to

6 out of 170 teachers or 3.53% conveyed about their unhappiness and discontentment towards their profession. Differently from this are the 37 out of 170 teachers or 21.76 see themselves somehow happy and somehow satisfied where 41 out of 170 teachers or 24.12 rated their happiness and satisfaction to their profession just right.

The authoritarian parenting style was 42 out of 170 parents or 24.71% applied this style. As to the permissive style of parenting, 28 out of 170 parents or 16.47% are used at this style. No parents opt to choose the uninvolved parenting style.

50 out of 170 students or 29.41% pick out careers under Artistic as followed by 40 out of 170 students or 23.53% decide on careers under Social; 28 out of 170 students or 16.47% go for careers under Investigative; 20 out of 170 students or 11.77% opt for careers under Enterprising; 20 out of 170 students or 11.77% selected careers under Realistic; 12 out of 170 students or 7.06% settled on careers under Conventional.

38 out of 170 teachers or 22.35% assume students wanted enterprising careers; then followed by the 37 out of 170 teachers or 21.77% pick out artistic careers; next are the social, mechanical, conventional, and outdoor careers which respectively 20 out of 170 teachers or 11.76% go for this careers; finally the remaining 15 out 170 teachers or 8.82% go for the investigative careers. As to the assessment of teachers on student career preferences are based on their presumptions as their justification varies differently, it simply point out that most students preferred to go through Realistic (mechanical/fixing, electronics, carpentry, manual/skilled trades, protective service, athletics/sports, nature/outdoors, animal service); Artistic (writing, creative arts, performing/entertaining) and Enterprising (public speaking, law/politics, management/supervision, sales) careers. On the other hand, 2 groups consist of 20 teachers each preferred the Conventional (office practices, clerical/clerking, food service); and Social (community service, education, medical service, religious activities); then the least preferred courses related by the teachers was the Investigative careers (mathematics, scientific research/development, medical science).

59 out of 170 parents or 34.71% wanted their children to enroll on the Social careers (community service, education, medical service, religious activities). As to the Artistic careers (writing, creative arts, performing/entertaining) 47 out of 170 parents or 27.65% wanted this for their children to enroll. In the Enterprising careers (public speaking, law/politics, management/supervision, sales) 29 out of 170 parents or 17.06 like this better for their children. To the Conventional careers (office practices, clerical/clerking, food service) 20 out of 170 parents or 11.76% choses these for their children to enroll. In the field of Investigative careers (mathematics, scientific research/development, medical science) 15 out of 170 parents or 8.82% desired these for their children to enroll. But to the Realistic careers (mechanical/fixing, electronics, carpentry, manual/skilled trades, protective service, athletics/sports, nature/outdoors, animal service) no parents wanted their children to pursue such kind of courses.

 It would be better that the Department of Education should have an in-depth training & workshop for students, teachers, and parents about K to 12 Curriculum particularly to the Junior and Senior High School issue. It would be better also for the Department of Education or the National Government to address solutions for the discontentment and unhappiness of teacher towards their profession due to low compensation that somehow affects the delivery of service teaching quality education.

 It would be good for the parents to be really serious to invest time to supervise their children towards their studies and apply parenting style that would benefit both parties as you employ the win-win system process in order for them to perform well in their schooling. It would be better for students and parents to undergo counseling to on self and career assessment that will guide both of them as to appropriate course the parent may support and the student to take in order to augment the mismatch problem of our graduates.

 Parents and students should take into account this question what work will employ them after their graduation not what course they want after graduation which will guarantee a great chance of employment after graduation. This action research can be used for further research studies.
