I want to punch a hole in the wall right now

My normally quiet and dignified father, while I was visiting him (I'm a 25 year old woman, btw), started screaming at me out of nowhere when I told him about my new job. I have just successfully landed my dream job at a small company, and I get to do a job I really like doing in an environment that is chill and supportive and respects me as a woman. However, when I told him about it, he started yelling at me and telling me I'm a lazy waste of space, and how I'm a moron for settling for some low-paying job at a small company when I should be aiming for a highly-paid job at a big corporation. I was taken aback because I wasn't expecting this reaction, and I told him that I don't want to work in a corporate environment where I get treated like a drone, but he just kept yelling at me and telling me I'm a failure.<br><br>I was so shocked and hurt that I didn't know what to say, and when I tried to talk back, he told me to shut up and stop trying to educate him. I'm so disappointed and upset right now, and I just want to scream at him for his ignorance.
