Re: Pointing in the right Direction?
You're still young, so why not do that? If you really want to move to the US you can do, but you'll need to think of it as a 10 yr plan - get a degree, find a job with a multinational company, then work your way up and ask for a transfer.
Perfectly achievable, but just not quickly!
Good luck.

Re: Pointing in the right Direction?
plenty of Brits seem to get temporary summer jobs here, working in restaurants, sport coaches at camps, etc. Not sure if they do this through temp visa program or just "informally". But it's worth trying it out for a few months to see if you even like the life.
We won the green card lottery back when you could submit multiple applications....you just had to know how to distribute them!

I just don't know where to start looking. I don't know the care work rules in America, but I am also not afraid to do manual labour like working on building sites or farms. Not afraid to get my hands dirty
If anybody could point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated

H2a or H2b. You'll not enjoy either them.

The sports camps are either BUNAC type programs or H2B seasonal work.
A few folks do get brought over on some kind of cultural exchange to work at the odd pub too, bit like Disney bring folks over.

The dodgy Irish folks in the pubs of Boston? Most of them are illegal, cash in hand, they come over and leave after the summer, but many come over on college exchange type programs and work illegally on the side. Or they come over as nannies.
