hmmm skilled technical work is not valued these days?
It's not a matter of skill. It's a matter of demand. If you look up on fiverr you can find many people that are willing to sell python/c/c++/<put whatever programming language you want here>. Still, though, if you're good at something, you'll be recognized. 
Ah ok thank you, I guess I'll just need to get my thinking cap on then
