If you insist on getting a ball python, then a captive born snake from captive bred adults is the best option. You've save enough money for this option. The idea that you would be getting a captive born and bred baby may be easier for your mom to swallow vs. the "wild caught import" option. Whatever it takes for you to convince your mom that a ball python is not dangerous should help. Another consideration is to convince your mom that this animal WILL NEVER escape its enclosure, and to make sure that it never does should you finally get one (she may actually be turned off by the idea through this consideration alone, that the snake will eventually get out).
As for how the snake could be "useful" to you... well, other than being fascinating and pleasurable to work with, I don't imagine another "use" for them in a captive setting.
