Thinking about moving to Jordan

I'm about to graduate college (The Ohio State University) with a major in Arabic, and so I want to move over to the Middle East in a few months to get some international experience and improve my Arabic (mainly speaking, I can read and write okay, if slowly. I also pretty much only know MSA). I was thinking about moving to Jordan, since it's not dangerous and since English isn't as widely spoken as Arabic (and the dialect is more useful than Tunisian or Moroccan). However, I need some advice on finding places to rent, obtaining employment, costs associated with living there, transportation, etc. I only need enough money to live (preferably comfortably), but of course a larger salary is always appreciated. I have some professional experience, but I'm not sure what opportunities (other than teaching English) are available over there. So, if any of you would share your advice/contact info, I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks!

Edit:

I guess I should be a bit more specific. How hard is it to find work there enough to survive on, assuming cheap expenses? Also, how much does knowing Arabic help with living there and also finding employment?
