Should I or my parents claim me on their tax returns?

I’m currently a full time college student and I also work full time as an assistant manager in a retail store. I pay all of my own bills with exception of rent because I live with my family. I do pay for all my own food, phone, student loans (and am currently making payments on them) and all other necessities or wants. I made over $20k a year and my father is very persistent on claiming me for the extra money he’d get off his tax return. I feel I support myself more than he supports me, I even lived out of state (away from my parents) and moved back home to go to school at a local university. I’m just looking for a second opinion as to if I should be claimed by him or if I should claim myself
