Well, Mr. Austin you heard one point of view, now let me give you one
that is from someone who was in your shoes about 2 years ago.
Two years ago I knew nothing about SAP. In two months I will
be going 1099, and will quadruple my present salary. I was hired
straight out of school with no previous SAP or industry experience.
The company paid for all of my training, along with that of several
others hired straight out of school.
As far as Big 6, not long after I was hired Andersen came in with
about 10 green employees straight out of school.
Basically, there are opportunities out there for people out of school,
just keep looking. Good Luck!!!
