Subject: Change from Merchant Navy to IT
Date: 21-Oct-2007
Question: Hi,

I am 29 years old and for the past 5 years I have been working in Merchant Navy, I have completed till 2nd year in my graduation from DU in Accounts Hons. I am married for the past 1 year and now I want to change my career from Marine life to some ground job. I have heard that their is some scope in Software Industry. I was told by someone that if I could complete my graduation and do any course like MS Certified course or something related to ERP/SAP then it will be easy to enter into this field. Could you throw some light on that as well as the average money that a person will make in those fields.

Thanx in advance!!

Answer: It is a wise decision considering the shift that you are looking for.These certified professionals are in great demand. ERP stands for Enterprise Resource Planning.

Enterprise Resource Planning systems integrate all data and processes of an organization into unified system.

SAP stands for Systems Applications and Products in data processing.

SAP is the fourth largest software company in the world. It ranks after Microsoft, IBM and Oracle. The growing demand for these professionals are on the rise and with the Customer Relationship Management coming in a big way in BPO's and KPO's, the scope of avenues is further widened. The salaries however differ from organisation to organisation and also on one's own abilities to market oneself.
