that's just a very lowball offer, i make a whole lot more than that
for php consulting.

Keep in mind - it depends on your experience, plain php jobs tend to 
be on the low-side, the idea is to charge for solutions, if php happens
to help you accomplish the job, then great.  Looking to go into the 
industry as a "PHP Programmer" is frankly benign.  Look to get in the 
industry as a programmer, and if PHP is helpful in getting your job 
done, great use it.  If not, use cold fusion, perl, python, php, asp, 
c, c++, java, assembler, whatever tool is best/most suitable for the
task at hand.
