I think you're dad has your best interests at heart.
The job market has taken a big knock and if you were just graduating with ticks in all the right boxes, you should be worried. You have to think carefully about how to proceed, but if you're right at the beginning you have a long while to go before you're going to be on the market. Hopefully, and fingers crossed, things will be better when you come to apply. This is the route I intend to take because have to focus on what I want to do with my life, not just take another route because of the current climate. I am fortunate though in that I will not be in serious debt at the end and I have an extremely supportive family.
What ever you decide, I wish you the very best of luck.
Kind regards
Nigel
