Teaching Jobs on Teachers.Net

I'm a fairly new ESL teacher with an M.A., and I've been debating whether I should teach children or adults. I prefer working with adults, but the only problem is...jobs.

Do full-time jobs even exist in adult ESL? It seems that the full-time positions all require a PhD. The others are all part-time, and pay low hourly wages. I don't get it! How can anyone afford to live on a bunch of part-time positions? There are no benefits, and you're always running around from one job to the next. It's frustrating. I'm sorry to rant. I guess I'm just wondering if anyone reading this has been in my shoes or has any advice or words of wisdom. Thanks for reading!
