To work part time off campus w SSN for F1 student

[chauB94]

Hello,

I recently got employed on campus. I am getting minimum wage and I can have only up to 20 hours per week as long as i am a full time student.
I was wondering what dangers there would be if i were to apply for a job off campus with the SSN i received for my job. and also, I know/think i wouldnt be allowed to do a second job, but what if i do?

I really need to work. I see all my f1 friends working off campus without ssn or anything for years. so I wanted to know what complications that might bring. I mean at least I have a job on campus and a ssn so i can apply legally for a job off campus, right?

Thank you, sorry if i am ignorant, I am trying to inform myself on this before doing anything that could harm my future in this country.

Simply it would be illegal.
If you get caught you would be in trouble.
Any time in the distant future it might come up and haunt you even you can go unnoticed for now.

Employers are supposed to check that you have work authorization. When you start work you need to fill out an I-9 and present one of the documents on that that prove work authorization, e.g. EAD. You don't have any such document. Any legitimate employer will not let you work.
