I'll elaborate.

This year, in high school I started studying physics for the first time ever - I know, Mexico's Educational System is one of the Worst :\ - And I really, really liked it.

The thing is, right here in mexico it is really hard to make a living as a physicist, and It's really likely that you'll end up teaching physics. I don't like teaching, and i would hate to end up as a physics teacher, but I really don't want to study anything else than physics, because it is just amazing.

Soo, what should I do?

Look at engineering. Some disciplines of engineering (electrical, mechanical, chemical) are close to some disciplines of physics, and you may find more options for employment with an engineering degree.
