Only in summers you can do internship or work for full 40 hours per week outside university. There are however some exceptions, please follow the below mentioned link for complete information

Q: i got multipul entry usa visit visa ,
now i am thinking to move use therefore, i am seeking you advice regarding this move .
my question is that can i work there by having this visa?
how i can settle my self there in USA?
i am mechanical engineer by profession , can i get job there??
Thank you for contacting our website. On Visit Visa (b1/b2) one can not work. Engineering is in demand so there is a possibility that you might be able to get job in USA. You will need to look for all the available opportunities and apply for it, the companies provide H visa if they will hire you however some companies resist when they know that they will need to file your paperwork as its time consuming as well as costly for them so they give preference to those who are already eligible to work in USA.
Mostly Pakistani’s in this situation do is to look for the recruiting companies, sign a contract with them and they look for the job on your behalf and meanwhile process your H1 visa for work however when you start working they deduct some amount (In some cases more than half salary) for an year or long (depends upon the contract). The contract has some strict rules but if nothing seems to work they atleast make sure that you stay. I personally cannot refer you to any of such company however you can do some online research.
