Lots of higher ed institutions won't even consider purchasing a new piece of new software unless it passes WCAG. It's a part of the bidding process now. Lot of Universities have been sued because the software they use is not accesible. This is a huge deal in higher ed. Also, software vendors lack accessibility talent. If you can find your way into this niche, it could be lucrative for you. I would suggest you do a ton of research on the various types of accessibility issues, participate in web-dev accessibility communities, and start posting content on how to develop attractive and accessible sites once you feel very knowledgeable. Maybe even make some simple tools for your site/whereever you start posting content. There is definitely a lack of developer tools and quality content around accessibility.
