It is very motivating to read all your stories! I will share my story,
BE 2010 passed out >> 1.5 years as mobile app dev >> 2 years as Java dev >> Realized that after 10 years down the line same place cannot give me the kind of roles(Functional and Techno Functional) I like >> in the mean time got exposed to SAP through my cousin >> Took training in unauthorized institute on SAP BI/BW but realized that starting career on SAP ABAP is best as it is heart of SAP, knowing it in and out would give me an edge for playing different roles >> Enrolled for authorized SAP training >> Learning ABAP >> was feeling little low and random Googling ended up in this forum(Cheers for the Admin!!)
Need some moral support as I have to compromise on my package(you know credit card end EMIs 
).
