Then there was one young lady whose fine arts degree
wasn't paying her
bills, so she signed up to be an RHCE. She'd never seen a Linux or UNIX
system, had no admin experience even in Windows, and since she plainly
ignored the printed prerequisites (Administrative experience with Linux
or Unix), I can only assume she also couldn't read. She really did
expect to take the 6-week 2-nights-a-week class, pass the RHCE, and go
get a $50K job.
She did stick it out through the course. After it ended, she sent me
a 3-page email that expressed, in prose, her bitter disappointment in
the strangeness of "the Linux Mindset". The term "megalodorks" was
used.
Was she cute?
