What do I need to work and travel in the US for 10 months as a Dutch citizen?

I am a Dutch citizen planning on going on a big trip to the USA from January 2014 to October 2014. I want to visit Canada and Honduras as well during this trip, but these will be short vacation like trips. My focus will be on the USA.

The basic plan is to travel across the US, work in a restaurant/bar/any place that hires me or do an internship at a company for a couple of months (graduated aerospace engineer by then), and then travel some more. WWOOF'ing for a while is also part of the plan.
I do not plan on immigrating to the USA, so it's going to be a long temporal stay.

My question is now: if this type of journey is possible, what documents do I need?
