There are many types of visas which would allow you to work in the US.

You generally can change your status but first need to find an employer who petitions you under a suitable visa category. There is no general work permit.

B1/2 is for pleasure or business. It is not intended for people who seek employment. You should first see if you qualify for an employment based visa. Usually you will need an American company to sponsor you.

It depends on your educational background, work history and an specialized skill set you may have. There are also country-specific visas. The most common employment-based nonimmigrant visas are the H-1B, TN, L-1A, L-1B and E-1, E-2 and O-1.

You can change your status to a work visa if you qualify and have an offer from a US employer. You cannot self-petition for a generic work permit. However, you may invest or trade and obtain a visa based on a business you start or buy. This will depend on your nationality also.
