I suggest waiting and seeing if you get into YC but in case you don't and you still need to eat (I like to eat too) then I would suggest looking on Craiglist for a job.
If they really like you ask to see if you can work 3 weeks a month and take 1 week to work on your project in there office on there computer, that way you are there available to them but they don't have to pay you.
That is what I am doing and if I get into YC I will be in a position to quit entirely and only work on my project.

If I do get into YC, I still have three months of expenses until the winter. I don't have to funds to coast, and I don't want to put my project on hold, either.

I forgot about the 3 months, at least do something that hones your skills. Anything that makes you better will be worth the time plus you will make some extra money.
