Unfortunately I will echo what the others have said. I am a fingerstyle player: classical, Celtic, jazz, acoustic rock—really anything that sounds good to me. It is almost universal that if it comes up in a conversation that I play guitar, someone will chime in, “Well, what do you sing?” Frustrating. I have played some background stuff for folks having a housewarming or a Christmas party, for example. I also have played a couple of times as background for an art show. I have never approached it with the idea of making money. I would think you might find a coffee shop, cafe, or smaller venue where you are not competing with loud bar action or sports TV. Regular work? I am not really optimistic. But my goal with guitar in the first place was personal satisfaction and not trying to go public with it. Good luck.
