PHP is not a shitty language for web dev stuff. It gets the job done, and that's all you need to do when you're working on someone else's clusterfuck of a project. Allah save you should you have to deal with anything that's suffering from PHP4 code.
Web hosts have all but dropped their support for PHP4, so you can make a chunk of change just dealing with that bullshit (fatal errors as far as the eye can see). You can also make some money off of the idiots who thought outsourcing their ecommerce solution to Indians was a good idea.
Make money off of morons, avoid bro-startups, and always charge hourly on PHP projects.
