you'll have a very tough time generating ad revenue on a website without at least having a niche (and basically everything seems to already be covered for maple). generally you should come up with something like this without having your mind set on profits anyway.. it'll be pretty obvious if all you're looking for is money.
your best bet to find a job is through contacts right now, to be honest. check with your friends to see if any of their workplaces have any openings.. ask family, friends of the family, etc. do odd jobs for people. and all the while, keep putting in job applications. check the classifieds & craigslist. just keep looking. there's not always something available all the time, but if you keep plugging away at it you'll eventually find something.
also a week and a half looking for a job is nothing. after a year of living in california (for the low education cost) doing nothing but odd jobs and not being able to find a real one, I had to move back to virginia. and now I'm working full time again. so.. don't get discouraged after one week lol. you've barely started.
oh and I don't mean to sound like a total bastard, but I'll be blunt. if you "haven't been able to find any scholarships or even bother looking.", why do you think it's worth it for your parents to pay your tuition? if you made no effort to be self-sufficient, why should they pay all of your expenses? you're in college, it's time to stop living off your parents lol.
