Very useful web resources on SAP careers
For those who specialize or have interest in SAP, check links below. BTW, I have followed Jon Reed's articles for 12+ years and I have to say he is the top SAP career expert in US:

How to break into SAP using my accounting background
I'd like to know the steps someone can take to break into the SAP job market. I've been an accounting manager for six years. I know Java and SQL and recently completed a lengthy course in ABAP. Any suggestions?

Ordinarily I advise anyone breaking into SAP to inventory their current skill set and find the relevant areas within SAP to target. In your case, there is more flexibility. I would suggest keeping your focus on the functional side of SAP, and targeting the SAP FI/CO area, where you have the most industry background. Your programming experience could come into play also, as all good functional teams have at least one person who can sit down with the development group and "talk in code."
