Sheetallb For money i mean Donot get into SAP just because the pay is good. It is not like in early 2000 when there were less SAP guys. Now most of the important SAP operations are handled by company's permanent employees and they look for help of IT consultants in newer areas Like Profit center accounting and CRM which is pretty complicated if you are a fresher. Plus your education abckground plays a big role. Employers now mostly consider people with relevaent MS degree for partiucular submodule. If youwant to do FICO then you have to have a MBA degree, if PP then MS in production engineering. thats what sets you apart from rest of the crowd. Also without fiance degree sustaining in FICO is pretty uphill task. Most of the consulting companies are bogus and they donot pay well. I have seen my friends who jumped into SAP and they didnot get job for 9 months, even after completing 1 project the waitime for next one is like 3 months. Many have left to simpler software fields like QA and reporting and still making 70K a year. If you are determined and have patience then SAP is Ok for long run but you need to be prepared to struggle hard at least 5-6 months in job market before you land a job. I am saying that by experience.
