Get off your ass and look for ANY job that pays. Your dad is pissed off you squandered his hard-earned money going to college with nothing to show for it. I suggest you start paying half of all the household bills including the grocery bill, electricity bill, the internet bill, the rent, the heating bill, etc...Embrace your responsibilities you lazy fuck.

You might want to consider moving to an area with better employment.

Sounds like your dad is still there for you in spite of all your failings and bitching. Perhaps you should be a little more grateful.

You probably need to make some real decisions with how you're going to live out the rest of your life.

These days, in order to make a real living and not be a miserable slave, you need to either learn a trade or earn a real degree in something useful.

Otherwise, you'll be working in a coffee shop or ringing up energy drinks at a gas station until you die, because you won't always have a father to live with.

You need to ask yourself what field you think you'll be happy with.

You've already said that material possessions aren't important, so making a ton of money shouldn't be the focus of choosing a career path. Instead, think about a field that is interesting to you. Something you'll be happy in. Find some work that is meaningful to you, something you can see yourself actually enjoying and getting meaning out of.

There is more to life than just money and relationships, unlike what society has told you.

You can get happiness out of finding a calling for yourself. Some people do this through public service, like emergency medical services. Others do it through working with wild animals in veterinary clinics. Some people go work in back country wilderness clearing trails for weeks at a time.

Most of these jobs do not pay extraordinarily well in the monetary sense, but they provide a sense of purpose and fulfillment for the people who do them. Most of the people who take on these professions are doing so because they have decided that is their true purpose or calling in life, rather than chasing some car, house, and marriage.

You'll at least make more than selling monster energy drinks for minimum wage, and you will have more self respect.

The first thing you need to do is to start getting out of bed every morning and making sure you're doing everything you can to raise your level of self respect as high as you can. This will set you on a path towards finding whatever it is you're looking for.

Little things that you can turn into routine, will go a long way. Make sure you're practicing proper hygiene every day. Do a little exercise. Clean and press your clothes. Bring that self respect up, and you'll start feeling better about your situation.

Then start the soul searching for what you truly want out of life.

We're not feminists, we won't enable your victim mentality, life is tough, try and learn a trade, learn to code or join the military if you have to. A lot of guys here are blunt but don't try and take it too personally, as for your dad mine has done similar things, he's most likely a beta male and brought you up through nagging and shaming rather than tough love, my advice is to talk to your dad, tell him that you'll work hard and be independent but ask him politely to stop putting you down since it isn't helping.

You have to learn to enjoy hardships and abandon your victim mentality, you live in a first world country (I assume) you have it easy, even if you had it easier you'd probably still be miserable. Force a smile on your face it doesn't have to be real, think positively not negatively, stop being passive and take some action to make your life better and enjoy it for what it is. I used to be like you it was cringy, brought up by a beta father I would constantly complain at work bringing down everyone's mood around me, I was always frowning and I'd saw myself as a victim.

Edit: You might see yourself above trade jobs since you previously were studying an IT degree but face it, you're what you make of yourself, you either try to finish that degree in IT or you take any other job.

You can’t even compose a paragraph and you’re trashing your dad?

Aviation mechanic, so long as you have no felony criminal record. A lot of places are having low level positions open up right now, but up a local airport and see if you can get anything, and try to get your A & P

You are 100% responsible for you decisions. Get off your ass and get any job. Your dad expects you to contribute not hide behind a keyboard and bitch about how shitty things are. Nut up or shut up.
