> as I really do not enjoy WordPress LOL

me neither but it pays; when we get called, bad things already happened, so it's always an emergency which means we can ask for 400-500$/hr to fix it. And there are so many bad wp sites that we can retire on that alone. But let me tell you about OpenCart, Drupal, etc which also are all lovely targets and more niche so higher hourlies!

As someone with a formal verification and static typing background, it is the most terrible crap there is, but it is very good business.

Any recommendations on how you can find that kind of work? I'd personally enjoy it, but I don't know how to break into it without working as a WP dev at an unsustainably-low wage.

May I ask how you find this kind of work? The kinds of orgs with hacked/broken/incompetently-run WP installs don’t tend to be the type of orgs you’d find via professional networking, but by going through the dregs of Craigslist’s gigs pages, no?
