Is the RHCSA worth anything? <br>
It appears to be the entry level Red hat cert. <br>

A cert in Microsoft means nothing other than (l)user passed a
test. They can do this without ever touching a computer.<br>
<br>
The RHCE means that engineer has passed a rigorous field test of
both theoretical as well as practical, hands-on troubleshooting.<br>
<br>
It is not possible to pass the RHCE exam without several years of
experience. While general Linux skilz would be useful, the exam is
very geared toward a professional engineer working in a high-count
RHEL environment. A solid understanding of how to setup and
configure a RHEL server for a variety of common needs each with a
bit of a twist is a requirement to survive the test. The test has
a 50% first pass rate. Only the CNA test is viewed higher by those
signing paychecks. There are additional, higher-order RHEL tests,
RHCA - RedHat Certified Architect , that requires a RHCE to start
plus 5 of 7 additional specialty certifications.<br>
<br>
But, yes, RHCE == $$$. Both to take and to make.<br>
<br>
I have yet to see an ad for a RHCA. I would require a total
boatload of cash to even give a CFO the time of day if I went that
route.<br>

I guess by this point it's not much different from getting a

Microsoft: 1) Get Red Hat certificate 2) Apply. Seems there's
little<br>
market outside of the RH vertical.<br>
