You need to tell your dad to get a job and provide for his family even if it means making less money. But that's where your responsibility ends. If he won't take your advice, that's a problem between him and your mom. You can't help anyone who doesn't want to be helped.
I'm in a similar situation; my mom is working at some menial crap retail job, mainly because she's living in an area with an extremely bad economy. I've offered to help her with her resume, and suggested that she move to a better area (I could even get her a job in some places). But she won't listen, so it's not my problem.
And enough with the "if you don't blow tens of thousands of dollars to get a sheet of paper you're gonna starve and die on the street!" bullshit. Sheesh. If you can do okay without college (and many people can) then by all means quit wasting your time and money. But make sure the decision suits you; don't do it soly on account your parents.
