I just feel like 3d printing business are everywhere and that i would stand no chance. Im not even sure how to find prints, But i can still dream... right? I would possibly be better off getting a job.

Have you tried starting a 3d print business or is it more as a hobby or both?

This.

3D printers are now not more expensive or harder to use than 2D printers, and they are becoming quite common.

Same as you wouldn't just start up a copy shop just because you own an HP inkjet printer, just owning a random 3D printer doesn't really qualify you for running a 3D print shop.
