Re: [sap-career] SAP Sales & Distribution Job Age Limit & Job Opportunities at 53

Hi All


I generally do agree with what Mr. Deepak has to say. The Indian job market
has varied preferences such as :

a. young freshers whose services can be hired at low cost ( this is one
school of thought )
b. Older people with knowledge and experience who may be expensive yet
useful ( this is another school of thought )

However, if you have the grit, knowledge and experience and endurance then
nothing is impossible.

After about 25 years of experience in Internal Audit and Finance, I took
voluntary retirement from services and I was around 50 then. Thereafter, I
started self-learning SAP, got myself certified and am functioning as a
faculty ( freelance trainer ) in SAP. I would call it resurrection. If it
happened to me then it could happen to others too........

Mr.Venkat seems to have rich domain experience, maturity of age and
business experience ( which would have made him conversant with related
business processes ). Since he feels that his business is not doing well and
seeks a change, he has to look for alternatives. That is definitely risk
taking, at the age of 53. If he has to necessarily take a risk anyways, then
I do not see anything wrong in taking up learning SAP SD. May be ....he
might / might not get a job .....But that is not all.... He could earn a
living teaching SAP .....imparting knowledge and making a living for himself
too...... Teaching can also be considered a job........Who knows? He might
even be able to do consulting with his domain experience coupled with SAP
knowledge..

My suggestion to Mr.Venkat is:

You are trying for a break and at your age thereby you, I think , are taking
a risk....Everybody ( young and old ) take risks in life in this competitive
world these days. If you have decided about taking a risk, then what is
wrong in considering learning SAP as one such risk factor ( at least as an
option )?


You need to consider various options ( with their strengths and weaknesses )
before deciding on what you want to do. Learning SAP is an expensive affair
in terms of cost, time and devotion. But if you hit the bull's eye,
then....who knows ? May be you could start a new life with a bang!

Wish you success in your endeavor. Never lose your confidence. Think YOU CAN
and YOU WILL.

Regards

I agree with Mr.Roy..i think age is not certain limit for individual growth..even my dad stood up in job at the age of 51 & now he is good at his work..if he is really willing to do job in sap then he can.. i think so..
