Hey, first of all cheers and congratulations on your graduation!
Taking a break is completely normal, we all need it, now more than ever. So, it’s really not bad to take a break. You’ll have a lot of time to spend with yourself, and that’s a great opportunity (getting to know yourself, or finding a new hobby, taking a little time off and looking at things in a different perspective) right there. Building a career for yourself is an extremely important part of your life, ofcourse. You say you have a proper plan about your career and future. That’s amazing.
Parents tend to obligate on us because they obviously care for us. So don’t worry, talk to your father, in general. Talk to him about the things he like, and build a new friendship with him. Understand the root of reason as to why he is against your plan. Be patient, and then try explaining him in a different perspective.
Hope this helps.
More power to you, and I wish you for an amazing career!
Take care❤️
