Yes effeminately WordPress is a very good career option. There are lots of development work on WordPress and you can easily get hired in companies that do these works.
Moreover as a freelancer too you can do WP works by your own. I am also doing some projects of my clients on WordPress and I love this CMS.

That completely depends upon you. If you are a designer go for designing, if you are a developer and go for web development. If you are a marketer its useful to get leads. Use Wordpress as a platform to publish your design, or use wordpress to develop your themes.
There are lot of designers and developers making a career in wordpress, so there is no harm and it is a good choice if you have a passion to learn wordpress.
I realize this is an old thread, but as Iām actually on the crux of getting a wordpress front end with some back end development job the best way I can sum it up is yes, depending on what you are doing. You have to understand the LAMP stack and be comfortable with backend troubleshooting not just front end for a long term career in wordpress.
Now react is very sexy right now but itās not attractive for the vast majority of clients who want something easy to do and non technical, ie wordpress.
Hiring a react developer who are all in high demand is out of the question for most common people who just want a site asap. Too expensive and how do you make changes on a website? Many people do not even want to touch the easy wysiwyg editors.
Itās why companies like the one iām interviewing at has made a career retooling the tool.
In brief, any front end developer who is open minded and not married to one language or one stack will have a very bright career and future.
I got through half of Andrei Neagoieās web development and already know enough to impress people at the interview stage.
But really programming on any stack helps in the long term.
I donāt want to be married if Iāll soon become a widow.
