From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Linux is an OS not a career. Most people who make money around Linux have college degrees.
This isn't a helpful comment. OP is asking for ways to leverage their knowledge not suggesting that Linux itself is a career path.
Such an open question. First of, whos the market, and where is he located.
It's more helpful to ask questions of OP if you feel their initial question is missing context.
They probably don't know what to consider if they are asking the question to begin with. Asking gap filling questions can help guide to an answer.
