SAP or SAS ???

I've recently got interest in SAP and decided to research about it. My quest led me to meet this good fellow of mine who is SAS Consultant.

After listening to his views on SAS I was confused more. He suggested SAS as a good ground and easy for me to grasp than SAP. But the option is mine.

In job prospect wise, SAP aswell as SAS is in demand. They are more demanding than I thought in the beginning of my research. I'm ccna certified, comptia N+ certified and currently working on gaining mcse and ccnp. If the need be I'd try in future ccie. My ambition is to gain loads of knowledge and experience. Where I end up, is in the hands of my knowledge and effort.

Currently working in a school as ICT techie. With this kind of info given, ambition and work habit attitude, Can anyone advice me on SAP/SAS as a good choice?

Any feedback/replies welcome.

Less I forget, I'm a Linux fanatic and learning python now. I just like free and open world. Don't get me wrong..
