She's not sure that Martha understands fully what she means, which is easy to do given that she doesn't necessarily speak out loud everything that's on her mind. "Oh, proving myself is nice and all, but I need to make sure I've got a future, something that makes me me."
Even with those words, it's not quite fully what's on her mind. After meeting the others, she knows that she's got to have something to figure out who she is as a person. Something more than just someone that's finished university, the Maitland's nanny, the Doctor's friend. She's still trying to figure out who she is, trying to understand her importance in the scheme of things. It's all still a mystery to her, but maybe she can figure it all out while she's staying here.
"You're a doctor, can't get much more important or needed than that. No matter what else, you'll always have that title to identify you." She tries again to make more sense, to get out her jumbled thoughts into something a bit less to do with the Doctor and more to do with her identity at its very core. But it's such a serious subject, something Martha doesn't have to sit through, so she just jumps into seeming lighthearted and over all of it entirely.
She glances over at her book, and taps at it with her index finger. "Suppose a title like Master Class Adventurer Slash Traveler might have a nice ring to it. Oh! I could be just like... oh, what's his name... Ah! Right, Indiana Jones. Clara Oswald would look amazing in that hat. Whip too, now that I think about it."
