Which flavor of unix has more job opportunities?

All,

I've almost 5+ yrs experience in IT sector. i've mostly work with support projects in Unix/ Linux (Shell scripting), SQL, Autosys job scheduling. Now i really felt boring with the work i'm doing currently. Hence i've decided to expertise myself in new skill set. I'm planning to learn unix administration and do a certification in Unix administration.

However i'm still undecided about which unix flavor i should go. Some are advising me to go for Sun Solaris and some others are advising me to go for AIX, even few of my friends are advising me to go for Linux administration. I'm totally confused now.

Hence i decided to sought your advice on the below,

1. Which flavor of unix has more job opportunities?
2. Which flavor of unix is HOT at present (salary)?
3. Also more importantly i wish to work some years in either US or UK, so which flavor of unix is hot there?

I might be wrong but at least in UK they are all very popular. Seems the demand for Linux is still high - and for a beginner, it might be easier to get into Linux or Open Solaris because it doesn't require dedicated hardware as AIX does ... from a salary perspective, it seems that Solaris and AIX are slightly better payed than Linux

Kind regards
