She must be out of her mind then. We have so many other male colleagues with so much going on for them (university football champions, top students in the class, etc).
Your insecurity will ruin everything. You need counseling. I say that kindly.

But what I said is true, so I don't see why there's insecurity. If I was in her place, I would choose someone best positioned to provide me a better lifestyle.
Okay, you will eventually have a good job. Stop worrying about that part.
It sounds like both of you are interested in one another, but you're a shy analytical guy without much experience. That's okay. She sounds confident enough.
Since she's already invited you to have coffee and communicates with you regularly. Why don't you ask her if she'd like to go someplace with you? What are your interests? Movies are safe bets. Museums can be easy, neutral settings to spend time with someone. Maybe you like sports or astronomy? Universities offer so many opportunities for casual dates.
Invite her to something simple. Plan to have a light meal before or after. Pay the tab for both of you. Remember to smile and make eye contact occasionally. Then see if she keeps talking to you later.
Good luck. Don't worry about anything more advanced than that now.
At 24 financial stability isn't a huge relationship motivator. That happens when it is serious. Do you want to get to know this woman or not?

After a certain age it's hard to believe a man or a woman would only be interested in each other to be friends (even though that's not my case, I wouldn't mind being just her friend).

What age is that? 75?
Are you afraid this woman will make you be her bf against your will?

Lots of women like having guys who are just friends. It's hard for me to be just friends with a guy, but that is my own individual problem, not a problem for women in general.
