如果你的ssn卡上写明了 not valid for work ,那么你是肯定不能打工的。如果写了valid for work in DHS authrioration (好像是这么写的把 ）实在特定条件下可以打工
那么可以参考如下：
j1有各种不同的身份 ，比如short-term scholar,none-degree student, research scholar等等，关于这些身份那些可以打工 适合校园内还是校园外的工作 ，可以打多少小时的工，请仔细研究下下面的英文解释。
Research Scholars that have not yet used the maximum of 5 years for which they are eligible, may transfer to a different institution after they have completed their program and/ or may accept a research position in many universities for the remainder of the 5 years. While this is possible, it is not very common as there could be no time gap between the end date of your program here and the start date of such a position.
In theory, the same opportunity is available to Short-Term Scholars. The time constraints, however, make this extremely unlikely to happen.
Both the Research Scholars and Short-Term Scholars may work in their fields of research in their department without any time limits per week. While they may not teach due to university policy, other opportunities may be available. However, any unrelated jobs are not allowed.
Non-Degree Students may do all the research that is needed to complete the research for which you came to the University of Chicago. However, they are strictly limited in the amount of work that may be performed on the side.
As a Non-Degree Student you can work on campus up to 20 hours a week when classes are in session (full-time during breaks), at jobs that are either related to study, for example an assistantship, or are unrelated to study. In theory, you can work off campus, part-time, in jobs unrelated to the field of study. In practice, however, that kind of work authorization is severely restricted and very rare.
You are eligible for off-campus employment in the field of study: up to 12 months of "academic training" (AT). J-1 AT is available for up to 20 hours a week when classes are in session, but may be full-time during breaks and during the annual vacation. There is no delay, but you may work only as long as you have studied. Thus if you come to the University as a Non-Degree Student for one quarter, then, immediately following that quarter, you will be eligible for up to three months of employment under AT.
After completion of a course of study lasting an academic year or longer, Non-Degree Students may use the remainder of their AT. In theory this could be 18 months. However, as a Non-Degree Student you are limited to a period of 24 months in the US, including study and AT. Therefore, if you studied 12 months, you are eligible for 12 months of AT. If you studied for 18 months, you would only be eligible for 6 months of AT (not 18), as you will have used your 24 month total.
