Yeah, in a world where fire magic existed, there would be fire magicians whose day job was being a human-powered blast furnace, blasting something with fire over and over. They wouldn't be out having adventures, and the use of their magic would probably be heavily regulated.

Until someone invents a magi-tech furnace and those people have to turn to others means to make money

Counterpoint, imagine society if 2% of the population had a gun with infinite bullets that they could never put down

I bet those guys would get exiled. Or, if it were a religious society, they'd be sent on "crusades" over and over until they were dead.
