Well, maybe, just maybe, there are more people who want to be art teachers, than there are math teachers.. and in that, the positions are relatively hard to fill.. There are also more jobs at Walmart than in Education.
The financial disparity of "art" is that there is only so much room for people to excel and you have to be very good... only the top 1% will ever gain any recognition... There are plenty of schools out there dedicated to the arts... there are also schools dedicated to science.
From the financial perspective, nothing is stopping anyone from picking up a pencil and paper and drawing, or dancing to music. YouTube etc has given rise to quite a few self-starters. The same goes for computers... Except with computers the financial barrier to entry is a little higher. Just the same, there's a number of articles, books, blogs, etc that will help you learn if you take the initiative.
Not having something in a classroom never stopped someone with initiative from learning something. Have some.
