- michaelchisari 9y agoYou can make very good money as a consultant in the PHP/Joomla/Drupal world if you are professional, reliable, and write solid, bug free code. Nothing you make will be particularly interesting, but you will make an excellent living for yourself.
- scientistem 9y agoThat is true, but you’re focusing on the php part rather than the median php position part, which is the relevant point to the discussion.
- thesagan 9y agoMost of the skill in that area is not working with the CMS but doing the crazy complex integrations that clients ask of them. (And of saving the work of not-as-skilled/too-skilled-for-their-own-good crowd.) Maybe more of a light blue collar.
