Today, I discovered that my dad still doesn't consider my career as an app developer a "real job". FML

I honestly don't know why it reminds you of Portland, Maine either.

If it pays the bills, and you live comfortably it's a good carreer

if you make enough money, don't live at his house and own your own car it shouldn't matter.

he may change his mind when you make more money than he does!

show him your paycheck... if you are embarrassed to, then get a real job.

It's a real job.. But it'd be hard to make a career out of it

Probably due to the fact of all the fun you are having to do so

I get that all the time too! I'm a photo retouch artist and work from home so everyone accuses me of not having a 'real job'. Sorry, just because I don't work 9-5 in a cubicle doesn't mean I don't get paid.

In a rapidly expanding digital age, I'd say you have one of the most sought after and valuable jobs. My friend does app development full time - gets paid 50k a year. Financially worth it, and you're doing what you love.
