Try going around your local CU to apply for a student card. If anything you can open up a secured credit card until your income is more sufficient and established a longer credit history.

I was in a similar situation last year. I was college student and only made around 2500/yr. I applied for a credit card with a local CU and was approved for a $500 limit. Hope everything works out.
