The job seeker visa (JSV) is not extenable or renewable.
So you need another visa if you want to continue staying in Germany.
As you wrote, you can get a student visa by becoming full-time student at a German university.
You could also marry a German, or father a child that is German citizen. Or come on a tourist visa for three months every six months.

Not sure how to help you but it illustrates the problem that getting a decent job without speaking German is difficult - even with a good education unless it is in very specialized filelds. Another factor might be that your English usage in this post is not fluent . It's all that more difficult when one tries to get a job where Englsih is spoken but it is also not their first language.
