Well, I can tell you that I am pretty sure you need a student visa to be a student. So if that is your priority I believe you can only gain permission to work part-time.

Only contract positions at department stores?? Never looked into it but I seriously doubt all their employees are on a contract.

And I can tell you that you will almost certainly not be able to get a work visa (3 year) with only a high school education.

Get your degree (either here or back home) and then worry about finding work. If you are already here as a student, I could see you finding someone willing to sponsor your visa once you graduate much easier anyway.
