Malware Analysis and Reverse Engineering as a career

This seems like interesting stuff and I want to possibly pursue it as a career, and I have a couple questions if you don’t mind:

Are there many jobs specifically in analysis and RE? Or is it often an ancillary skillset to a more broad role like DFIR?

How does one get into this line of work? Is higher education necessary, and if not, how can a self-taught person find work? What resources are best to learn?

Would you recommend it as a career? What kind of person is the best fit for it?

Thank you for the help! I know it’s a lot of questions, so even any small bit of advice is appreciated.
