I think financial success has as much to do with personal ambition as it does education. Ambition motivates people to be constantly looking for a way to boost themselves up economically, even if it means they have to change jobs. Not everyone has this kind of drive, but not everyone needs it to be happy.

Are you living at home with your parents? If you are, you should do what is necessary to make yourself self-supporting. Grown men tend to look at children living at home as children, and this is probably what your dad is thinking. He will respect you more if you can take care of yourself 100%.
