Dilemma - SAP or Data analytics?

[zera]

Currently seeking internship to break into the IT field.
Need to decide between two options for the internship, which likely will pave the way for the next permanent job:
1) SAP consultant
2) Data analytics

I had been end user of SAP for abt 10 years and had wanted to become SAP consultant before data analytics come into picture, which is currently the trend.

Would be glad to hear some advise regarding the prospects of either options for someone who is in midst of a career change in mid-30s.

Thank you!

Both are very niche. So its hard to change your career path after choosing either path.
For SAP, you will be stuck with SAP for the rest of your life.
For Data analytics, same but data analytics trend is going down as it is easier for user to self-help and automate it with advancement in DA software. Data analytics is not data science.

Choose wisely.
