I don't think "urgent" and "career" should be anywhere near each other, ever. If you are saying things like this, then it really suggests that you quite possibly currently don't know anything at all about Linux, and think that getting a certification in it with a few cram sessions covering an exam guide is a good move. It's not. It never is. RHCE is an in demand accreditation, sure, but it'll mean ZERO without some experience, and not always much more if your experience is good.

Just like a driving lessons doesn't teach you how to drive, but how to pass a driving test, an RHCE means nothign more than you passed an exam, not that you have any skills per se.

Sorry, but no. You're going to need to get a lot of experience first (even if that "experience" starts with you tinkering, building, breaking, and fixing your own Linux servers on your own time).

Otherwise, you're going to be grilled at your first interview, where they will figure out in five minutes flat that you are a serious liability.
