Thanks, sounds like good advice.
How do I approach the agencies (for PHP or non-PHP)? Cold emailing won't work, no?

A portfolio will really help here. If you can put together a small site that shows what you've done before, that will help. The Drupal agencies (the better ones, anyway) will also probably want to see some activity on Drupal.org, but that's not necessarily a deal-breaker. If you do want to work on Drupal, go to some Drupal meetups, and make it your goal to be ready to apply for a Drupal job at the next DrupalCon in Austin next year (Drupal has a learning curve, you will need the time).
I'll also try to get out of PHP. It would be nice to do something different for a change.
That escalated quickly. :)
If you didn't know, Drupal's written in PHP, and the upcoming Drupal 8 uses the Symfony framework. I always recommend learning new languages, but there's no pressing need for you to get out of PHP to move forward!
