I have a similar situation, and got a bad taste of the RHCE due to it.  
Back around the same time, I got my RHCE.  I had almost no professional 
experience with Linux, I was mostly a Solaris guy with some HPUX, Irix, 
and (minor) AIX.  I took the one week boot camp course, and actually 
spent a fair amount of time out of the classes dealing with work situations.

When it came time to take the exam, I found I could do almost everything 
simply by knowing "redhat-config-*" and relying on my historic UNIX 
knowledge.  I passed with a 100% and a 98% on the two parts.  I decided 
at that point that the RHCE was essentially worthless, because I would 
not have wanted to try and work on RH boxes at that point.
