Apparently, Work Study has been possible all along with the X visa, something I did not know. Now it has been more clearly formalized and it seems that at least you'll be able to pay your way through your degree.

The newly created short term X2 is not eligible.

I can't seem to find what is involved in going from a Z visa to an X1. Would anybody know that one?

The thing I dread is being told I have to go all the way back to the US and apply from there, which I don't think i can do in the time I have.

Ask the school where you're going to study. Tell them you have a residence permit (not a Z visa) and you need a student visa.

As I understand it .... you cannot change in country and have to go to HK or home to change....

The process may be RP to L then to X1...
