Facts about SAP



This is about SAP:

Now... let's talk about a few other things....  You asked for best and easy. I'm hoping this was just an unfortunate word choice. Best is a matter of opinion: vanilla or chocolate. You need to educate yourself on the various career paths (programming, system administration, functional consulting, project management, etc) and the business subspecialties (components: SAP ERP, SAP CRM, SAP SRM, SAP SCM; modules - SAP ERP: FI, MM, PP, SD, etc) and then select for yourself the path and subspecialty which interests you most. The blog post on overview books is probably a good place to start.

As for "easy", you're in the wrong field. Nothing about SAP is "easy". SAP is the heart and soul of the companies in which it is installed. Folks take that seriously. There are deadlines and requirements and at no point does "easy" factor in to the equation. If you want a job that is mentally low stress, then get a job flipping burgers. If you want a job that is physically low stress, then SAP work probably fits the description; however, very few folks who work to support an SAP system lead low stress 9-to-5 type lives. Supporting a system means deadlines and often work on weekends and holidays. If you're just looking to punch a clock and collect a paycheck, then you should be looking to get a job as an end user, not as a support person.

Also, and I apologize for being a bit harsh, but SAP is a business system. You should strive to present yourself in a professional manner at all times. That means proper capitalization, punctuation, grammar, and spelling at all times. Your emphasis on easy and the general appearance and tone of your written communication leads me to believe that you may not have what it takes to be successful in an SAP career. In the blogs provided, you have a roadmap and all the tools necessary to succeed. If you read them and have questions, I and and many others stand ready to answer any questions you may have, but you have to do your homework first. I haven't seen any evidence yet that you have the ability to do the hard work necessary to even begin a career in SAP. I sincerely hope you have the drive and determination to prove me wrong.
