This research is to study the correlation between self-esteem and career barriers among vocational high school students in Taipei, and further more to figure out how the career barriers can be affected by the different styles of self-esteem. Two research instruments are used: “Self-Esteem Inventory for Adolescents” and “Career Barriers Scale for Vocational High School Students”. The data is analyzed through the methods of Descriptive statistics, T-test, One-way ANOVA and Pearson’s product-moment correlation. The findings of the study include: 1. Vocational high school students in Taipei think their self-ability and self-worth higher than average points. 2. Vocational high school students in Taipei think inadequate preparation as the most career barriers and views of significant others as the least ones. 3. More than half of the students in nuclear families have low self-esteem, and they feel career barrier easier than others. 4. The one who has narcissistic self-esteem is less sensitive for career barriers. 5. The one who has lower self-worthiness is more likely to feel about the career barriers, but not necessarily for the one who has lower self-ability. 6. The higher the high school entry scores, the higher the self-esteem, but they have less feeling about the career barriers. According to the result and discussion of this study, the researcher proposed practical suggestions for counselors and further study.
