I live in America and want to go and live in England with my friend who also lives in America. Please tell me what type of job I could get that would send me to England and help me stay alive but still give me a little money left to buy a house.

ha ha ha ha you think you're only going to need "a little money left to buy a house"?! most people in really decent careers can't afford to get on the housing market in this country, so I hope you've got some pretty fantastic qualifications and experience behind you

This is an impossible question to answer without knowing your qualifications or skill set. There will not be many "legal" jobs for immigrants without some sort of skill. If you have no training then I expect that waitressing, bartending or a hotel job will be available at a pinch, but you have it arranged before arrival or Immigration at the airport won't be happy.
To buy a house will be expensive anywhere in England. For a bog-standard three bedroom semi-detatched (I think you may call them duplexes) the price will vary anything from £150,000 to £350,000 or more. It's the location that makes the difference. Have a look at the web site linked below to get an idea how prices vary around the United Kingdom.
Please ignore some of the brain-dead responses that you have already received. Although it would help prevent dud replies if your spelling was better.
Not all English people are boors (i.e. uncouth louts or idiots), but this Forum does seem to attract more than it's fair share of inarticulate dick-heads.

You'll need to go into a career that is in demand in England in order to secure a work permit which allows you to work and live there legally. Some good choices are to get a Graduate School degree in business, get a degree in computers (but you will need to work for a few years in the US and move into a high level job. If you can earn $150,000 doing computer work in the US then you are probably at a skill level to get a visa.) Also there used to be a demand for nurses and they were able to get visas but I'm not sure if that's still the case.

If you are not an EU citizen, then you will need a work permit to work in England.
As others have already commented, you will also need to earn some serious dosh to buy a house in the UK.
Because of a severe shortage of nurses in Britain, there is a fast-track process for nurses and nursing student visas .... and the pay is also getting better.
Have you considered a nursing career?

Depends on your saving dollars and look how much is the exchange rate in England,sometimes dollars is much higher if you exchange it in foreign country,but must tell you the country ,where you want to live is very expensive,most people their go to America to shop,because America much cheaper than England in name brand stuff,so if you go their better shop here in America right now than in England,on jobs its always depend on your skills, job experience,and mostly on you

Judging from your writing skills, I would advise that you stay in school, go to college, get a marketable degree and then consider going overseas.

Proffessional dosser- that seems to be how most foreign visitors to England do it (apart from the Polish) -come over, get knocked up, that helps too, you'll get a free house that way while the rest of the workers pay tax for you!
Good luck!
