Would it be too risky of a move to move out and take a job paying $13-16/hour?

I'm currently living with my parents in a rural area, working from home making $13/hour. It's gotten to be too much for me. I moved in with my parents to help them with things, and so I could save up for grad school in a few years. Ever since I got off of training though I've been required to work 50-60 hours almost every week, which has driven a wedge in the relationships at home since I can't help out as much. It's also prevented me from doing any form of volunteering, shadowing, or learning anything that could help in finding a good grad program.

In what little free time I do have, I've been looking at job boards for local colleges. I figured I could either look for another remote job and stay here, still too far in a rural area to do much volunteering or shadowing, or I could go ahead and look for a better job in another area that would give me more opportunities. Most college towns around here that aren't in large cities have an average rent including utilities of $350-500 per month. And most jobs at those colleges pay $13-16 per hour.

I'm wondering if that would be too risky of a move? I wouldn't be making that much more money, if any, and I'd have additional expenses than if I stayed where I am. But I'd have the added benefits of living closer to places I could volunteer or shadow at, and if I worked for a college I could take free/discounted classes.
