Once you finish uni you would need some sort of training/certification by SAP. As to how long, depends on how much of it you want to learn. I don't think anyone knows the whole thing 100%.If you have business/accounting or programming/development degrees already you could learn SAP and find a junior role. It would take years of experience to be on the mega bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fellas $218 is fairly cheap per hour.. My charge out rate varies between $110 for drafting work through to $200 for Crash Analysis/Treatment. But we contract people up to $400 per hour for very specialised structural work.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even at $218 that's $3.60 a minute, no time to stand around and chat. I work for all the major mining and oil and gas companies. Woodside, Chevron, BP, Alcoa, Rio Tinto, BHP. Etc.

I did apprenticeships in baking/pastrycooking and commercial cookery (chef) straight out of highschool.. You've got plenty of time to change careers and you've always got something to fall back on..Yeah Arronm looking at what you do your rate is very competitive.. Especially when contracting to the mines.. We tend to bounce up our rates when working for them.. I haven't seen a metallurgist under about $250 so far.. Need some work? :-P Edited 16/02/12 02:27 AM by Porno Panda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etc.$218 an hour sounds like alot but when you consider we currently turn a train around every 70mins average train is worth 3mil to the company. If somebody like Arron can tell us why we are having rail breakages and assist in a solution it doesnt take too many delayed trains too pay for the service! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
