25 is still pretty young. Most women don't start caring about guys having jobs until after she turns 30. You'd be surprised at how many jobless men there are just out there casually fucking or in long term relationships with women. Guys overcomplicate these things. Yes a small number of women engage in hypergamy but not all, and especially not women in the 18-29 year old age range. You could still be living with parents and they don't care, as long as you have adequate privacy and clean bed and room. You've got a job so that's enough to take them out or get a hotel room. Also, in my experience, those highly educated and successful women actually don't care about money and status of their spouses as much as people claim, the issue is that 90% of guys are lazy at home and sometimes life. No cleaning, no cooking, no home repairs, no car repairs, they're scared of bugs or spiders or mice too so the women can't even rely on you to fucking kill pests. Guys will lay around and watch sports or play games, hardly shower, don't do laundry, won't work out, don't smell nice, don't look nice. Rarely engaging in or bringing culture to the home, so no good music, movies, plays, concerts, food, news, art, decor, plants, candles, tasteful furniture, invites to events or parties. Nothing but FIFA and spending money on uber eats, gambling, gacha games, and onlyfans. You can be a broke writer that has only sold a hundred copies of your book, your lawyer gf or wife won't care as long as you're still getting articles published somewhere and you're not a slob of a man. You can work retail, your tenured PhD gf or wife won't care as long as you've got plans to open your own clothing shop or hardware store, or restaurant or gas stations, or whatever, as long as you're not playing FIFA or NBA2k all day and the house, and yard, and cars haven't fallen into disrepair.
