The number of places in the US where work experience will by accepted by EASA is likely to be small. The only possibility is a Line position with a European airline working to JAR145 or an MRO with JAR145 approval. However, I assume you will be on some sort of student visa if you go to the US so working there will not be an option.

It seems you are trying to bite off more than you can chew here! Becoming licensed to EASA standard is a huge undertaking and by passing the modules all you have done is laid the foundation stones. If you are serious about a career in hands-on aircraft maintenance, then forget the degree for now and concentrate as others have said on getting employed as a mechanic and build-up that all important hands-on experience (where you will really learn the job!) If you still want to head in the direction of management later then a move in that direction will be possible without a degree (or you can always study for a degree at a time that suits you)
