An H-4 visa may be granted to a spouse and any unmarried children under 21 years of age of an H1B visa holder.
Work: A person with an H4 visa may not work unless the person qualifies for an H-1B visa and is approved for a "Change of Status" by the INS.
Education: A person with an H4 may seek a post secondary education by converting their status to an "F1" (full-time student) visa. Full-time means a minimum of twelve (12) credits per semester in an institution recognized by the INS. Conversion to a different visa is not necessary is to attend a community colleges. A community college, however, offer diplomas rather than degrees which may make it more difficult to qualify for your own H1-B visa.
H4 holders are able to acquire a Driver's license, open a Bank account, enter into contracts or even go to college. Children on H4 visas do not need a separate visa to attend school.
Another option for those interested in continuing their education, is to attend community colleges. It does not require a change in your visa status.
You may also convert an H4 visa to an H1 visa, if you can provide proof, that you are qualified for the position and qualify under the H1B guidelines with prior work experience.

Unfortunately, there are no legal ways to work and earn money on h4 visa.
What you can do is :
1. switch to H1 if an employer is willing to hire you or
2. switch to F1 visa, which is a student visa. It allows you to work on campus and earn a degree. Also, there is a special quota for F1 students to convert to H1.
3. Wait till the EAD arrives if you are planning to start the green card process
