I would imagine possibly teaching English with a college/university and also trying to get a job secured with a company in Mexico before going there.
2 :
I wouldn't worry about money - I'd worry about living. It is the killing fields down there. Anything illegal.
3 :
it depends on his proficiency of Spanish language.
4 :
Smuggle people over the border.

Obviously teaching English would be a way to make money. Bar/Restaurant that caters to tourists. Your just going to have to think like a immigrant. Look at the ones in the United States. You see immigrants driving taxi, working convience stores, laundry mats, restuarants. etc etc. Your def. not going to be working at some CEO position for a mexican company unless you are extremely talented.

Generally a bad idea. Americans are not well liked in Mexico. Already a favorite target for violence just for being American, you would be espeically targeted today. Mexicans and most Latin Americans are taught from birth that all of their problems are the fault of America. That their corruption isn't what's wrong, just that American stole their wealth. It's bull of course. Corruption = poverty just how it is and if the US doesn't wake up we'll see just how corruption can make even the wealthiest nation a third world hellhole. In terms of jobs your limited. Mexico isn't like the US. You can't just become Mexican because you want too. You have to know somebody to get a job. You have to grease palms just to park your car in some places and expect it to be there when you come back. If you have money you have to live in basically a fortress to prevent kidnappings and robbery. If your poor it doesn't matter as you have nothing to steal. Unless your of Mexican descent, just being Hispanic won't get you anywhere, you have to be Mexican, you will be shut out of most jobs. If you do latch on with a decent job you'll spend quite a bit on protection no matter what your ethnicity. I suggest moving to Canada, Europe, Brazil or maybe even Columbia instead. Columbia seems to have finally gotten things under control and it's future looks bright. You'll be less of a target though no Latin American nation has half the freedom, prosperity or safety of the US unless you live in an inner city here in the US. If you do you'll feel right at home in Latin America because the gangs run free and the corruption is extreme.
