Is it a wise decision to build career in php/laravel in upcoming years?

Hello everyone! I've just completed my graduation. In my university life, I learnt php, laravel and made projects. As I started my dev jounry with php, I have a different atttachment with it. So I wanted to proceed my career jounry with laravel ( laravel+vue/laravel+react later ). But I'm being very confused when I heard that "PHP IS DEAD/LOW JOB Market" etc etc. Note that I am not used to with JS/asp.net.

So, can anyone suggest me is it really worth to stick with php in 2023? or should I change my track?

There is no right answer, its a matter of time, place and opportunity. The important thing is to gain experience in programming. Once you know how to dissect a problem you can adapt to different languages to implement it.
