If I were you, I would look for employers that offer tuition assistance or tuition reimbursement. This should be listed in the benefits section on their website, or you can ask a recruiter when applying for an open position.
If the employers you are considering don't offer this, you could look for grants and see what you could apply for: http://www.collegescholarships.org/grants/graduate.htm

get to know if you need to take any competitive exams like GRE or TOEFL
As an example, when I did my masters, there were opportunities on campus to work as TA, RA under professors
but they required good scoring in GRE and TOEFL
There should be some groups where current students join and answer how scholarships or on campus jobs
will be filled. Please take time to research
Another option will be to take CPT after you complete few semesters as required by university.
But your work needs to be aligned to your course work. By the time you graduate,
you will be able to have professional experience and also will be able to pay off tuition fees.
