>How do you break into a career in a niche field like SAP development.
OH GOD WHY? Have you used SAP? SAP is the most expensive pile of shit I have ever seen. No company in their right mind would deploy such a system at this point in time.

For me, I would prefer to be paid three times what I am getting now to maintain someone's piece of crap legacy software, given that what I do now is maintain someone's piece of crap legacy software.
The difference in salary, put into perspective: on my current rates I need to save for three years to buy a Model 3. On double the salary, I can buy a Model S every other year.
Forget orange, disposable income is the new black.
For example if the average SAP dev at your friend's company left to do independent consulting, the rate wouldn't even be in the same ballpark.
