Agree. I’ve been making six figures (US$) working mainly with PHP for over a decade. Companies pay for results and business value, not for language expertise. If they happen to have a pile of PHP then I can live with that. Even maintaining corporate Wordpress sites is lucrative, and lots of big rich companies use WP.

I know people who have very basic PHP skills who make very little money, but that’s a function of their lack of technical skills and business experience, not the language.
