Father Lives in Fantasy Land about Jobs

My father keeps talking about with my “experience” I should be making $70-$80,000 a year. For context, I'm 25 and only have a bachelor's in psychology right now. I keep trying to figure out why the hell he continues to say this, it's like he lives under a rock. He's early fifties and has a corporate job (which I don't want). I tell him that it's unrealistic because one I just got a new job after nearly a year of interviewing and two most entry-level jobs don't even pay half of that. All of this just for him to continue saying the same damn thing, it's annoying and I hate the pressure he's putting on me. Is he a lost cause?
