I have two reactions - 1) if you need certs for your gig you get them (PCi or domains etcetc) 2) if you try to mob up the sys admin profession, you can be "made not a problem" - read that as you wish as I'm sure it varies state to state & region to region. I live in a right to work state, a very polite right to work state if you get my drift, with lots of Libre systems making it all function. If you find yourself as a share-cropper or in situational servitude, it is your own fault. (does seam a popular business<sic> model these days)
I don't see it as a problem, either way.
