My first choice would be to borrow the money. But only if you can guarantee you will be making enough to pay it back before losing in interest on the deal. Even better if you have family or friends willing to front you the cash.
Don't know your thoughts on this, but you can make money "donating" plasma. I did it when I was a broke college student so I could eat and put gas in my car. That might give you a couple hundred by June 1.
You did say labor intensive was out, but what about yards? If you have or can borrow a lawn mower, it's really low-cost decent return. My friend made $50 a pop. In a couple of weeks you could easily pull $600.
Well, I think I'm out of ideas. I usually borrow from my parents if it's necessary, but I can see why that might not be a good option, especially since I believe you said they want you to get a "real job."
Good luck.
