How would I go about moving to Dubai?

I am currently 17 but I am turning 18 in a couple of months and would like to move to Dubai. However, I do have some concerns about my possible move. First of all, what do I need to obtain in order to stay, live, and work in Dubai? I am planning on staying for approximately 1 year, so do I need to obtain a visa and if yes what kind? Furthermore, I would also like to work as I need to earn an income to pay for housing and living expenses. Where would be the best place to look for jobs? Lastly, I also need to find somewhere to live. So where would the best place be for me to look for somewhere to live? I would prefer to pay monthly, rather than quarterly or yearly as it would easier to merely pay monthly. Is there anything else that I am forgetting or anything else that I need to consider?
