The Order of the Knights Dragoon might be a shadow of what it once was, but that doesn't mean the dragoons are all gone. There are retired dragoons, as well as dragoons like those from the Convictory who have this to say:

As our nation's ties with Hraesvelgr's brood have grown stronger and our interests in Dravania have begun to expand, we have seen a marked increase in the number of travelers on the road.

Granted, such work will not earn you a lordship like slaying a dragon might, but it pays well and is far less prone to end in incineration - which seems a reasonable enough compromise, all things considered.
