That is the law here, unfortunately. As much as I'd still like to go for it, an extra $20-30 at the expense of legal issues later on down the line is pointless.

I've already cut what I can in my budget. Rent/food are big spenders, but they (mostly) can't change. Rent is what it is for this next semester, where food I could cut some, if I want to live on canned soup and PB & J every day. Which I'd rather not have to do.
Ultimately the desire to make extra money stems from my personal wants. I want to break into fashion journalism, and a fully realized passion for fashion is an expensive one, with said adjective perfectly describing my taste for things in life in general. Now yes, can I afford expensive everything as a college student? Hell no, which is why I'm cheap as hell with everything except my clothes. And I've even made cuts/delays to some goals of mine with that, and I'm still having trouble finding funds for other things.
I feel like I might try out Elance, but like I said in my OP, I'm doubtful of even getting a job.
