When you come to the US as a non-immigrant, you will have a lot of restrictions. If you come under a student visa, you will no be able to work, at leat not legally. To work in the US you need a work permit, and such permits are only given under certain types of visas and for people who are going throught adjusment of status to get their green cards.
