Ash was not very knowledgeable about locations where she could go looking for cash paid work that did not require legal documentation so she had to rule out that option too.
Other options that were available were jobs that required far too much time for very little pay.
With what was coming in the future, there was not enough time that Ash could continue wasting so she kept trying to figure out some more valid options that could be used to let her support herself enough to keep herself off the streets.
Outside of more legal working that took up a lot of time and effort, there were some people that collected cardboard, bottles and other recyclables that could be exchanged for very little money but it was not enough to support Ash.
Other options that were available were less legal and had much greater risks involved.
