How long does it take to learn to develop SAP or Oracle business applications, for example? How much does such a job pay? Maybe 'relatively complex' environments have something going for them after all? I mean these things are in-place with their own markets for developers to engage in. (And books exist, while open-source code is actually a.v.a.i.l.a.b.l.e, and legal!)

Supply and demand always applies, like it's a natural law or something.
