I'm going to come right out the gate with this one and say that the matter I need advice on stems from the fact that I still live with my parents. Parent, actually, as my dad is the only one of my parents who passes for anything near functional.

I'm 19 years old, not even a year out of highschool now, and my father continually expresses disappointment and contempt for the fact that I don't want to come work for him in his machine shop. I have a part time job already (averaging at about 32 hours per week, 6 of those hours being overtime) and am presently enrolled in two courses at a local Jr. College.

Now, I'll level with you anons, I don't particularly like working with my hands. I've been doing it for most of my life, yardwork for parents and such, moving things for family members, work at the aforementioned shop, but I can honestly say that I prefer desk work. If I didn't have any problem with it, I might just see him trying to coerce me as getting in a few extra hours. My dad, on the other hand, doesn't seem to think that the job I currently have is a "real" job. He doesn't like my choices and is apparently on the verge of attempting to force some changes on me.

I'd like nothing more than to move out and assert my own independence, but rent is just too steep where I live to make it on minimum wage (and not live in a crackhouse, that is).

What should I do?

Show him the money you make.

which courses are you in?

the part time job you work is only really relevant in the short term

your dad wants to hire and train you to do what exactly? work as a millwright? I wish had that kind of opportunity.
