I see lots of ERP jobs but they are at user organizations. I get the impression that many companies bought a standard or semi-custom ERP application package but didn't bother hiring people who knew how to integrate it into their pre-existing systems. SAP was a disaster waiting to happen because training was only available by SAP at great expense...so companies sent their managers instead of workers. Oracle ate them for lunch a long time ago. What most companies really need is something that combines web-page software, supply-chain management, financial stuff and intranet e-mail into something that looks like the AOL destinations page that can be learned by high-school kids. Maybe it's hard to find software engineers who are extroverted enough to dig into corporate processes and find out how customers use and misuse the modules.

Michelle- from someone who was born and raised in Kentucky, and has been to the tracks many times- Here's a little horse wagering advice. 1-Don't bet much, you'll probably lose. 2- The favorite almost never wins the Derby, and if he does the bet doesn't pay off well. 3- Real long shots like 40-1 and higher almmost never win. 4- SO that's about 6 different horses that have good odds of winning. 5- Bet on 2 different ones to win, and you have an almost even chance of getting more than your money back.
