Shame on him. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with having your family's support, especially when you're first starting out. But, the guilt tripping would be crossing a line. It says that he doesn't trust you, and would be using you as an emotional crutch.
You've got to pursue your dreams. Don't bend or ignore your dreams to suit the beliefs of others, unless you don't have a choice. If a good job comes up, that happens to be located elsewhere, and you want it, take it. Prove to your father that you can do this and that moving away doesn't have to mean zero contact with your family.
IIN my father wants me to stay local?
