No paid work allowed for H4. You can do some volunteer work in the library, senior center etc where many others do the same for free.

... option is if someone can file for your part time H1B. This is doable and then you will be able to work legally for so many hours per week, which is usually 50% of 40 or 20 hours.

Otherwise, TXH1B's comments remain valid.

You can definitely consider studying if you want to.

Take care.

Bottom line is you cannot earn any money on H4 visa.
