What documents do i need in order to move from the United States to the Netherlands?

Ok so to make a long story short, I plan on moving to the Netherlands in one year. I am 17 years old and I've never traveled outside of the country before. I know I need to get a passport but I want to live there permanently. I'm very confused as to what the difference is between green cards and visas. I'm not going there as a student i do want to get a job there of course (since i want to live there). What is the process? What forms of identification do i need to do this?

    Looks like you won't be going to the Netherlands to work anytime soon without an employer to sponsor you.

    Imagine a 17 year-old boy from the Netherlands wanting to move to the U.S. How long do you think it would take for him until he has the required "paperwork?"

    Answer: until hell freezes over. Same for you. Unless you are married to a citizen of the Netherlands or have an advanced university degree in a discipline that is in high demand in the Netherlands, meaning they absolutely can't find anybody in Europe who can do what you can do, you ain't moving anywhere but within the United States.

    If "wanting" to move anywhere would be all it takes, the U.S. wouldn't have 312 million people, but over 2 billion, with a "b."
