    <p>I'm SAP architect for several years and I've seen many people who wanted to do the same, just take a course and then they wanted to act as a functional consultant for SAP modules. From my point of view, this doesn't make sense at all. You will never have the same experience like people who studied economics and after that they took a HR module course. In our current economic situation I doubt that there will be a feasible chance to enter the consulting business without the proper background and just a SAP course. The courses are usually very sketchy.</p> <p>Same is with people who just take a ABAP programming course and didn't study computer science at all. Do you think they'll ever be succesfull? There are plenty of people outside who are experienced. If you really want to change the way, you should try to get a trainee employment, to learn things from ground up. Apart from that, my experience is, that good functional consultants also have learned to do some sort of ABAP development. Therefore it's really better to do ABAP development, stick to enhancements in a functional module you want to work in, so that you get more and more experience. But this process might take up several years.</p> <p>Apart from that, if you're looking for something in the functional area of SAP, better choose a module which is not that common yet or one which is more technical related, e.g. BI or something new like SCM or SRM. Maybe the process infrastructure (PI) is also an interesting topic, it's more about designing interfaces and communicating than doing coding stuff. I think you should really check, whether module consulting is also really interesting for you, a lot of people complain, that the typical daily job, generating test data, testing reports, writing specification is not really interesting at all if you do it all day long. Apart from that, there is sure several kind of customizing involved. Better check first, if this is really interesting for you. I would not really like doing this kind of "consulting" business everyday.</p>

    2. COWell, it's difficult from far away to judge what's the best for your decision. As stated above, from a market perspective, I would rather focus on the new SAP things than on the old ones. MM and SD module are classic SAP modules, which exist for years and there are plenty of experienced people on the block, who are difficult to compete with. Maybe also SAP basis is something with might be interesting for you - you know coding but you don't have to. Basis people who are also experienced with development are hard to find and are very valueable.

    3. COBetter is, to check in which business area did you work so far, where did you develop your current progammes, was it Sales Distribution and Material management or something different? I would focus on new SAP technologies or even try to switch to something like ERP integration, which will also be an important topic for the next years. I mean the big MM and SD projects are gone, there is hardly any company introducing MM or SD so there are hardly new projects - except some upgrade issues.
