I'd also suggest RHSA / RHCE certification (RedHat SysAdmin / Certified 
Engineer).

In demand by employers large & small (especially large, with deep pockets).


Also, one of the few respected certs in the Linux world, so even Ubuntu, 
etc. shops would respect a RedHat cert.


Probably infinitely more valuable than learning kernel hacking. The 
former is very respectable and I'm in awe of those capabilities, but 
when looking at career options, there's a lot of serious jobs that never 
really need to get into kernel innards.



Other things: Docker & Kubernetes and/or KVM for containerization - a 
huge, trendy, and interesting field.




I do think RedHat is the way to go for serious Linux jobs though.



Remember, my opinion is worth less than you paid for it...
