It depends on if your interest lies in applications or network infrastructure. Both are excellent areas to have some knowledge and skills in. I have done both in my career and my interest has taken me down the network infrastructure path. So, you need to ask yourself, do you like working on applications or do you like working on the infrastructure that those applications run across?

I’m going to go a bit off topic here, and please pardon me if I seem to get a bit agitated…

<rant>
Please Please Please do not go into the IT field if your object is to make as much money as possible!!! I can tell you from personal experience that there are many other professions which are (much) higher paying with shorter hours than any IT specialty I know of. There are too many people in this field who have been “tricked” or mislead into thinking that they will finish school and walk into a six figure (in USD - I’m in the USA) income.

Don’t get me wrong: you can make good money in IT, but you aren’t going to get rich (with a few notable exceptions, of course). If you want to make the big bucks, go into Finance or Sales - the potential is unlimited. I know, because both Finance and Sales are previous career choices of mine, and i made a boatload more money then than I do now… If you really really really like the IT business, you would need (as LabNuke99 says) decide whether you are more of a Software or a Hardware kind of person (Applications or Infrastructure), but don’t choose because someone tells you that you’ll get rich…
</rant>

If as you state you are in the process of changing your career, and you had previously been in management of finance and do not like it, you probably don’t want to go the SAP route, because, guess what, that’s what you’ll be working with….
