It specifically states that self employment is NOT a valid excuse.
So i may have to live on the whopping $15 p/ day that it pays.

Of course it says that. Otherwise every contractor, doctor, consultant, etc wouldn't even show up.
I guess it depends on the judge, but every person who raised their had and told the judge they were a non salaried solo wage earner was gone after the first round in the trial I had this spring.
