Hey dude,
I don´t know you very well but I´ve seen you reacting a lot on the forum, and you seem very involved and helpful.
I just want to say: stick to what feels good for YOU. Don´t do anything that involves your sense of self, for other people. You live for you, in the end. Not for your dad or anybody else who does not see what you see.
Wish you a lot of luck with whatever you decide.
