EXPERT RESPONSE
There is no one "way to go" in SAP. But I would agree that a technical career path in SAP is better on the systems/database administration side than on the development side, simply because the outsourcing threat is higher on the ABAP side. It seems like you could really go either the Basis or ABAP route based on your skills. But keep in mind that Basis is rapidly shifting to NetWeaver. If you just chase "Basis," you'll be behind the technology curve.
