I agree. It depends on how a person gets the RHCE certificate. Most of my friends and known persons, just do a crash course on "How to crack RHCE?" for 5 days and win the exams. In my personal experience with interviewing those kind of persons for linux admin job for my company, 90% of RHCE people have only certificate, not the real knowledge or experience. There are some real hardworkers and real learners. Kudos to them. > > - There are quite a lot of jobs out there which have nothing to do with > admin at all.

But most of the RHCE people, have tons of fears on programming. They are ready run away even to read a piece of code. They think that admin is the easiest job and coding is the toughest one. Again, the above is my own experience on interviewing many RHCE holders. Not to hurt anyone. Thanks. Hope the OP can be a part of community by sharing his knowledge and experience.
