The age of 21 seems a bit too early for marriage. Howver, legally the age is fine to get married, but your intention of getting self sufficient before getting married is absolutely fine and essential to support your wife & family in future.
You need not be dependant on others after your marriage for your survival. Try to convince your parents about your problem and let them wait till you start earning and able to stand on your own feet before they get you married.
