Overprotective Dad

I am 17 years old. I wanted to get a job this summer. My first choice was babysitting, but that doesn't work because I have dance practice every morning. So, I started looking around for other jobs that work with my busy schedule. I got an application for a local restaurant and started filling it out. My dad saw the application and started freaking out because "the people there look sketchy." He won't let me do anything except babysit even though I told him multiple times that it conflicts with my schedule. I hate how he is so overprotective. He always makes assumptions about places based on the people that shop / eat there. It drives me crazy. This has been an ongoing battle with him every time I bring up the subject of me doing anything other than babysitting. My family isn't in the best situation financially either, so I thought that getting a job would help them out so I wouldn't have to constantly ask my parents for money every time I go out with friends. The subject got brought up at lunch today, and he talked about it like he was on board with me applying for this job, but tonight he flipped out and started screaming. I just can't deal with him anymore.
