You're in a rut, but not a hole. You'll be okay! :-) First step... start looking for a new job! Second step, look for jobs that require SAP experience, but at employers that will give you room to grow as a developer beyond a strict SAP admin/dev role. (For what's it's worth, I think Lego is an SAP shop. :-) I was in a similar spot about 8 years ago when I was a consultant at PeopleSoft. (It, too, was my first job out of college.) I got to a point 2 years in where I wanted to work a bit more "closer to the metal" with web development tools and -- like you -- I felt that only knowing PS technologies was a bit too "sharecropper" for me. I made the switch away from PS by going "in house" and becoming a PeopleSoft admin at a software development house in Chicago. (It should be easy enough for you to find SAP customers in the city you want to live in.) At my new employer, over time I took on more projects and roles (in addition to using my PS skills), until I officially could "let go" of my PS role and do custom software development full time. I was able to then develop "pure" Python and JavaScript dev skills in my new role and I've been having fun every since -- including a tour of duty at Google and cofounding my own startup last summer.
