Having a cheap linux certifcation is going to get you a cheap job, if you want to actually get paid well solaris and other high-end unix skills are the way to go.

You should also remember that there's more to the world than just the oil industry. The finance and telecomms sectors for example rely heavily on Sun systems etc for most of their critical infrastructure, and this isn't going to change any time soon.
