Learning "SAP ERP"

I told you I like getting degrees for fun. So far, I have 3 degrees in Commerce, 1 in Food & Nutrition and I'm in the process of getting a couple of more degrees by the end of this year. One that I'll be certified by March is SAP ERP. I probably didn't realize the 'weight' of this certificate on my CV when I decided to get certified. But now that I'm looking at job opportunities actively, I'm so glad i decided to go for it!

For those of you who don't know, SAP ERP is an integrated software solution that incorporates the key business functions of the organization. And currently, it is a hot career move to make. All I hope is that with a CA (Chartered Accountancy) degree AND a certificate in SAP (Financial Accounting), I'll have an edge over my competition and get the DREAM JOB that I've always wanted. Of course, I'll need an additional MBA to reach my goal of becoming a managing consultant one day. But for now, I'd like to join a SAP consulting firm and would love to travel across the world helping companies with their ERP needs! And hopefully by the end of this year or by the beginning of 2014, I'd have taken my GMAT, CAT and a few other MBA exams and gotten into a good MBA college of my choice! :-)

SAP is that career ladder that I've chosen to get me closer to my dream!

I made 24 Rupees today!

What would 24 Indian Rupees buy me you ask?

- Well, it would buy me 2 bars of chocolate and 4 tiny toffees.
- Or it would buy me some unnecessary junk food that I'll love while eating but feel guilty for lack of self control later!
- Or it would let buy me a to & fro ticket to the closest railway station from where I have to ride the local train everyday.

So, as you see - not a lot.

And yet, here I am - excitedly writing a BLOG POST about the 24 Rupees I made today. Why? Coz Mama's learning the stock market baby! Yep! After 4 insignificant years studying Finance and finding my passion in something totally different, I'm finally understanding the joys of investing.

Not that I invested a lot. But the 1st day in & I was smart enough to buy 8 shares at Rs. 368 each and sell them off at 371... Which is good coz 1 hour later, the closing rate dipped down to 365! Beginner's luck I say! ;-)

Anyhoo... It'll be fun to learn the nuances of Stock Market on the odd days that I'm home. And even more fun to share them with the (non-existent) readers! :-D Are you a speculator? Do you make money off the Stock Market? I'd love some tips! :-)

{{{P.S:- This is the first time I'm sharing how much money I made on a public platform. Never mind it isn't enough to even buy peanuts! Maybe as I go on, I'll be able to share what all I do to make some extra bucks and I do hope for my sake (and yours) I'll have lots to learn & share! ;-) }}}
