To do what and for how long?

Find a company in that line who will sponsor you for a work visa. Probably an H1b, but assuming you find someone and are lucky in the lottery the the earliest you could start is 1st October next year.

but I thought that my J-1 visa force me to finish my year here than go back to my home country for 2 years before I can come back to the U.S, isn't that true ?! If I find a job with a contract does it mean that I can stay here in my condition ?! thanks again sir.

Some J1's have a home residency requirement, most do not.

You only can stay as long as you have status.

Probably not.
