Most universities never teach PHP and so, students are not aware of that path until maybe someone tells them of the freelancing career as a php programmer. In order to atleast spread the news about the language, the php user group phil created a Roadshow program wherein volunteers visits universities to talk anything about php. Maybe your user group can also do something like that to help spread the word. I don't think we can rely to Universities because there is just no company backing PHP at all.
