Jaden, I can answer you as one who came to Mex looking for a job as a teacher of Eng. I've heard of many schools and I even worked in the one I consider the best but eveywhere they pay you very little and we become cheap labor. It works this way in Mex because the most part of people who speak Eng are just like you, people who were born or lived in the US for many years but don't have any degree in teaching, even if you have a mayor in teaching or anything else they don't take it into account and don't pay you for that. It happens in all Eng schools here in Mexico.
I'm not actually Mexican neither an Eng native speaker like you, but I met 6 guys, during the training method course for working in the school I mentioned you, who were just like you and had the same hope and I think there are only two of them still working as teachers. It was four months ago. I have a degree in teaching and I left the school about a month ago.
I was not terrible but it was not good either, they paid us 43 pesos per hour, now you can judge for yourself. If you have a mayor in graphics designing I think it'll be better for you to start thinking of looking for a job in that field. I am totally honest with you, you can give it shot and see for yourself, check out and find out about what I tell you. Now I'm teaching pedagogy in another school and they pay me 60 pesos per hour two days a week, besides I can work in another school on Saturdays.

Ese es el serio problema de la pobre educación con la que
se gradúan los chicos..tener maestros sin las credenciales necesarias para
ejercer una carrera de Maestra de Ingles.
Aunque seas nativa y hables Ingles fluentemente, se necesita conocer
la gramática de pies a cabeza, y eso se aprende en el colegio o en la
universidad donde te extienden un titulo de:
Bachelor of Science in HighSchool Educación ( si vas a ensenar en HighSchool)
En algunas escuelas, te escuchan hablar Ingles y como vas a ganar poco, no les
importa como enseñes. Eso es lo triste, pobres alumnos !
