In my opinion a majority of people who do RHCE is with the view that we will do it and the job is ready for us because there is a "shortage" of skilled linux guys. I would say that its not their fault its rather "marketed" that way. Of Course the shortage is there but of those people who live beyond the "click click next next" syndrome and can do their hands dirty with the internal of the system(this includes scripting and programming, if required). Major RHCE coaching institutes just focus on making people equip with the bare minimum so that they clear the exam and get certified and there is hardly any effort on the scripting aspect of system administration. I have been working on Linux for the past 7 years and never felt the need to get certified and in fact most of the linux gurus whom i recall none of them are certified too.
