Do you know the counselor at your school? You can learn coping skills to deal with your dad--you're half way there already, because you realize that you're not his problem--he is just throwing that anger in your direction. That's very mature awareness. usbusi is right: Don't mess up your future, throwing away schooling & settling for crappy jobs just to get away from your dad.
Work with your counselor and find a diplomatic way to approach your dad. Maybe say that you're sorry if you're adding to his stress, and could the two of you sit down & quietly clarify the "open can" issue in a week or so.
Please, though, Hydrophobic, put this in context of the rest of your life. Take a deep breath. There'll be lots of open cans and in a few years you can put them all wherever you want to ... If you have a good job and live in your own place. Handle this with common sense, not your own (albeit understandable) anger at your dad's unreasonable anger at you.
