Best way to find a job when moving?

Being 19, looking for an entry-level position, I don't think anyone is going to choose me over all of the other equally qualified applicants. My parents want me to find a job here and then transfer, but I need to move in a month, and no one is going to transfer me that soon.

***And no this is not the first time I've moved out of my parents' house or out of state.

I've spent time there before.. It's a university town. I've talked to students and non-students, and they all agree that it's easier for a non-student resident to find a job because of flexibility and not going home for summer and holidays. Also, I've been looking online for jobs there (I've applied for at least 20, but doubt they'll look twice at me) and it seems that there are WAY more jobs than in my area, where I have never spent more than a month looking for an entry-level/minimum-wage job.

My question is, would it be too risky to move before having a job? I have no problem settling for fast food as long as I get enough hours.

I'd be able to look in person and list my new address. I would have about 4 months rent saved up. Also, my boyfriend lives there, and I could stay with him for a week or so to look before actually moving in with my roommate (to postpone rent expenses).

Everything is screaming move first, but I guess I need strangers to tell me that it does, in fact, make the most sense.
