The harsh reality is that it's become very difficult within the past 2 years to obtain legal working status for foreigners in the US.
TN visas are now handed out to less than 1/2 of the people that apply whether they meet the requirements or not. Exchange programs are pretty much all gone except for school related ones. And, the available H1B visas have been cut to 65K from 195K just last week.
Your best option is to finish your degree and try to enter the US on a TN visa. By the time you finish the economy will be up and people will be hiring again.
I'm speaking from experience. I entered the US 3 years ago on a TN visa. Fast forward a few years and I'm now working back in Canada while my K1 - Fiancee visa is being processed. As soon as that's done I'm headed back to the US.
