I do have a cheat code for making money in Europe. Freelance as a SAP consultant.
The learning curve may be a few years, and its soul crushingly boring. But once you're qualified and competent at it, you just put on a suit and take your trolley from one large business to the other, whilst charging 200€+ per hour. You don't have to actually implement anything, only advise.
It's like the modern COBOL. Every sizable business runs on SAP, and it's complicated. The demand for high-end consultants in this space has been there for 20 years and won't go away.
As old man I will express caution that money isn't everything. Personally, I'd prefer digging holes into the ground in the streaming rain as a job over anything SAP.
As a former SAP consultant now Microsoft ERP consultant Id argue on the point "You don't have to actually implement anything, only advise."
I remember installing SAP on Linux servers, writing ABAP and Javascript, holding workshops to discuss business processes and then implement these business processes in SAP.
To be honest I haven't seen any SAP or ERP consultant who only advises and doesn't implement or write code and I have been doing this for 10+ years. I think its very interesting job because you will get access and understanding to the most granual levels of very different businesses. I mean you work with from general ledger entries to manufacturing to e-commerce while also understanding all the business context.
