If you can relocate to US from Philippines, you are in good shape compared to others who were stuck in their respective countries. Several options.
(1) Apply any service companies, SLB, HLB, WFD, etc. If your academic scores are good and they will bring you in. Now they even take Civil Engineering graduates in US.
(2) Find a job with service companies: Mud company, bit company, Mud-Logging services, whatever.
(3) Find a job as a Roustabout or rig helper in Texas, Dakota, whatever the states there are a lot of forums out there. Once you got experience and money, you can study part time.
(4) If you are smart, your academic is good.. apply Stanford, CSM, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, LSU, etc. Apply for a scholarships.
(5) Find a job in New York some place busy, there would be cash in hand jobs and save money for your graduate studies. Flip a burger or roll a sushi.
(6) Go and attend the Church where there were locals, eg. Texas. Try to network with the locals and may be someone will sponsor you.
(7) There aren't many options. But a lot of girls in US seeking sugar daddy. You can imagine it isn't easy to get a sponsorship who will pay your tuition. [link Point to another website Only the registered members can access]

I stared looking for a job since April and not single one have replied. I have searched some job opportunities and only admit graduates from accredited universities (my university is not accredited). Since I have no choice, I have to start underemployed to support my daily costs, and I plan to pursue a Masters here. There are no opportunities in the Philippines with my major so I have to move to the States and try my luck.
I am asking to everyone if there is somebody who is willing to sponsor a Masters or somebody knowing who can sponsor me. I assure you that I am very, very determined to finish it. Please contact me if you have inquiries. I am really have a hard time here and I wanted to study so I can start working in my very desired career and as well as satisfy my need for more knowledge.
Hoping to get a reply.
All of the best and regards
