What should I do?

Last Friday, I went to CIA, Culinary Institute of America, to take COMPASS test and chat with international student advisor. First, the test was fine. It wasn't hard than I thought, especially the mathematics section. I was quite excited about being at CIA; famous TV chef Julia Child said that CIA is the Harvard of Culinary school. In fact, there are many great chefs went there to complete the advance level of culinary world. I am still thrilled to study at CIA. To study at CIA could be my big step of chef career. With the degree from CIA, I could work anywhere in the world, that is what i believe. Maybe too much expectation, yet many alumni have proved the great advance of studying at CIA. I've wanted and planned since I stepped into the first kitchen. The campus is absolutely gorgeous. Thinking of how many culinary school itself has library, dormitory and restaurants in one place. Nobody could find even one easily because CIA the only culinary school has all the facility that similar quality as any other university. For example, Le Cordon Bleu could be the oldest cooking school in the world; it was established in early 20 century. It also has so many locations in the world, so many students have conveniently study wherever they want to, which is the greatest advance of LCB. However, not many people know that LCB was originally the cooking school for house wives who can't cook. Nine months of study about classic French cuisine might help some students who just began to be the chef. From my research of cooking school, LCB teaches no more than cooking beside LCB hotel school in Adelaide in Australia. While CIA offers bachelor's and associate degree, LCB only offers completion degree. I thought I would go to both school to study more about my career. Since I have limited budget and CIA has better system than others, I had to gave to study at LCB, but I don't regret that.
Anyway, the admission officer told me I can only possibly enter the school in March. Now is November and I have more than three months left before March. In this case, I should go back to Korea so that My mother and I could save some money before spending so much money for study. The only problem is that I don't want to go back to Korea. Moreover, I hate to be trapped in the situation that I have no choice whether I hate or not. Living in Korea doesn't help me to improve my English and cooking skills. I got to find more options that I could avoid going to Korea and need less budget. The options I could find was freelancer travel writer, volunteer work at farm, and working in New York. The travel worker is quite temped position since it provide good money and I could only travel around. The problem is my writing skill. English is still my second language and I probably have lack of writing skill even though I love writing. In fact, I don't ensure whether editors could pay for my journal. About volunteer work, I find many programs for that, such as farming, building, and teaching. Well, if I were native English speaker, I could teach English anywhere. Sadly, I am not. Volunteer programs tend to have to be paid for everything, with my light pocket, I got to omit these options as well. Helping the farm in New Zealand is the one I like. Working for them four to six hours to stay at their house is the biggest advance of this program. I love farm and farming. I believe this is the fundamental of every cooking. Only problem is air fare. To fly from New York to Auckland during busy season was freaking expensive, even much pricey than going back to Korea. If I could, I want to work in New York, but it is really risk as a student visa holder. I have no right to work for now. I guess the US government wants to protect its citizens' job. What I want to ask to New president Obama is to allow student visa holder to work that they don't have to struggle with financially supporting their education.
Nowadays, I want to work. I want to do something that can produce some living expenses. I am almost flat broken, so is my mother. I need money to study and a job to support myself. I now have a question so now is the time to find the answer.
