My dad didn't push me into CS. I took interest on my own. If anything, he's pushing me away. He wants me to be a doctor.

Doctors are in more demand in my area, can't speak for yours, but we have very few in relation to population. So I could understand if he wants you to go for it because of that angle.

You forgot to mention C itself, the mother of pretty much all the other languages.
C, being one step above assembly, is very simple and does not have large amounts of features,
so if you want maximum performance, the smallest executable, C is the way to go.
It is used for kernels, embedded device drivers, device drivers, <good> malware, and some high performance apps.
Every language has it's own advantage, and C being the father and one of the most famous languages ever, in my opinion, should be your next language, I am saying this because you can practice programming without stepping on the complicated things like OOP (I know this from experience).
I know this post is a few days old, but do people actually find proper OOP conplicated? I felt it simplified everything. It makes way more sense to learn OOP from day 1, instead of 3 years in to programming like I did (as in, just this year).
