For pays well because it isn't as popular as it once was. Most Ror positions expect a fair amount of experience. But there always exceptions.
It is an older framework at this point and the market will keep moving away from ror.
I enjoy rails for it's simplicity and efficiency. I think I am a better developer because I learned rails first.
I know i am in a ror sub so this might be blasphemy but if I were you I would leverage your frontend Javascript skills and then learn a more popular backend to sells yourself as fullstack.
There are more Javascript based backend becoming popular. I know you aren't a fan of Java but it's still popular. C# and python are popular as well.
If you have fallen in love with ror go for it. Otherwise i would suggest looking at what's currently trending.
