LOL. I thought for sure this thread was started by a female.
1. I gather from your post that you are not coming from a place where learning in kollel is the norm and the wife and/or her family support the couple.
Even so, the fact that the kollel set-up is so prevalent, and that it is also very common for the wife to work even if the husband is not in kollel, has changed perceptions and expectations, and it is no longer a given that the husband must provide for his wife before he can get married. Considering how long schooling can take in certain professions, couples would have to wait until they’re in their mid-upper 20s to get married if they waited until they were set up in their careers. Many girls work part time even while in college, or maybe their parents will help out.
2. Some people care about family background, some don’t. You probably would find it easier to date girls from a similar background.
