synestre is dead on, IMHO. Finding a job, as a foreigner, is difficult. You need to specialize in something that is not found in the Mexican working population. The amount of money you are planning to spend for rent is on the high end, unless you have some savings you want to burn through, real quickly. If you do find a job, it will probably not pay anywhere near the amount you would need to pay that kind of rent.
A common error made by people moving to this area is the idea that they can live like they are on vacation. Most of us working stiffs do split shifts, work 6 days a week, and rarely see the beach. My advice is that one should not make the move based solely on location. You need to research as much as possible and be ready for some huge changes in lifestyle. It is a great place to live, but rarely for the reasons one thinks of before they make the move.
Some of the most common jobs for foreigners are teachers (figure 8,000 pesos a month), entertainment staff (5000) or timeshare sales (0-who knows?). As synestre said, it is not easy. In fact, these days, it is a little more than difficult. If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me.
