Linux Certifications Can Pay Off Big

Tuesday, 27 July 2004 09:11 EST

Want to make money from technology? Linux might be just the technology you need to add to your skill portfolio and certification may be the way to prove to your customers you have those skills.

Dice Inc., a company specializing in online recruiting services for technology professionals, said in its July report, "Job postings requesting Linux on Dice.com are up 190% since June of last year to 2,243."

That's none too shabby. Better still, if you're someone with Linux skills, Dice's "Salary Survey reported earning an average salary of $67,000, which is 6% higher than the overall technology average."

It's not just Dice showing that Linux pays well. According to Certification Magazine's 2003 Salary Survey, people with RHCE (Red Hat Certified Engineers) certification, then perhaps the most widely recognized top Linux certification, pulled in over $71,000 a year. Even people with the low-end CompTIA's Linux+ brought home a gross salary of $52,380.
