You may need to take a part time job to make up the slack but getting started with your career now is better, especially if it will help pay for your continuing education. The thing is $8 is low, but $12-15 isn't exactly raking it in and keeps you from your goals, unless early childhood education is anywhere on your radar. Plus, chances are you'll get a lot more benefits from the school, like healthcare which in case you've been living under a rock is insanely expensive these days.
My first job out of college paid $5.50/hour and from that I had to pay rent, car and student loan (and everything else). And a LOT of macaroni and cheese. I feel your pain and wish you the best of luck.
