I learned Java in college and used it in my first job. Then that job acquired a PHP application and I had to learn it to support the development. Because I was the most junior at the time, they couldn't make anyone else do it. Then a year later, that company was acquired by a big tech company that ran primarily on PHP and as one of three PHP devs on the team, my growth jumped. I stopped hating it after the first couple months and ended up doing that as my primary work for the next 9 years. At the end of the day, they're all just tools.
