Afraid I've dug myself into a hole
pj: SAP is dead.  Listen to this debate between Saleforce CEO Mark Benioff and SAP's Chairman Hasso Plattner.  Benioff totally destroys SAP for an hour.http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=8481Your best bet is to save up a /lot/ of money, enough for a year or two, then quit and start working in your own time on another project in another language.Enterprises are moving away from big bulky ERP systems like SAP in droves.  They are too expensive, they take too long to implement, they are impossible to maintain without a full time staff of outside consultants who don't care about your business, but do care about charging you more money.I've known many SAP consultants and every one of them hates everything about their job except the money.Why are you wasting your life away doing that crappy stuff? It's terrible.There are great companies out there right now who need people who understand how crappy SAP and other products like them are.  They want to build better software.  Find one of those companies and go work for them.Tell them you are trying to get away from SAP and you know how bad it is and you can help them make a product better than SAP for less money and that is actually /good/ software.Your life will thank you for it.
