Everybody and their dog wants to work as a game dev. Nearly every program to get kids interested in programming involves games. Nearly everybody who gets into programming does so because they like games and think that this makes game development a fine career choice.

By supply and demand, you should expect a price of roughly zero. In other words, it's a hobby. Enjoy it, have fun, and do something else to pay your bills.

I'm the other way around, never been remotely interested in game programming I actually like solving 'boring' business use cases.

It's half programming and half process optimization, it's amazing (unless you work in those places) just how inefficient a process can be before you automate it (I sometimes think that the process of automating a manual process is like when the rewrite is much better in a different language because all the edge cases are known from the first one).
