I noticed a lot of collegiate imagery in this song. "Talking about another degree," "celebrity drop-outs," "25 for an hour."
I don't think this is a coincidence. I think it is about a college relationship where the girl is ambitious. She is talking about getting another degree (doctorate, medicine?). Her ambition is getting in the way of their relationship. Ultimately he feels that she is wasting her youth (25 for an hour) and thinks that she is essentially having an affair with ambition rather than dedicating herself to him.
