the first example #336 might also be used as
suru yori hokanai (contributor: dc)
やるっきゃない is another folksy way of saing #336. (contributor:
bamboo4)
I believe that in example #1219, you can simply use
「...アルバイトしかない」 without the verb. Probably both ways
are acceptable. (contributor: rubyhatchet)
#1219 か is missing. 卒業できなかったから ...
I think both wasy are acceptable. (contributor: Miki)
is Vneg plus しかない possible
e.g.

(contributor: sagittarius)
Probably not possible. So your example sounds strange.
eg.
明日までにこの仕事をしなければならないので、寝るわけにはいかない。or
起きているしかない。 (contributor: Miki)
ex #3681 does not use the grammar pattern. (contributor: マリ)
I fixed ex #1219 according to the alert of Mikiさん.
