Greetings my dear SAP professionals, my name is Pierce Nzeribe and I am a new SAP professional getting his start in Atlanta, GA. Helpful tips such as books to read or SAP practice fields you feel are most interesting would be very appreciated as embark on my SAP journey.

Pierce,
Welcome to SCN. You have come to the right place, although I would have posted this question in the Careers space, since you are not inquiring specifically about an SAP training course. A great place to start is right here on SCN, with the blogs and documents in the space related to the work you are doing or want to be doing. Since you did not say, it is impossible to be specific; the blogs, documents, books, courses, or external sites that might be hugely helpful to me as someone who configures and supports GRC Access Control would be no help at all to someone developing Fiori apps. Please do some searching through the appropriate spaces here, and you are bound to find some good documents and interesting discussions. If you are not sure how to get started, go the About SCN page for getting started resources.

Thank you so much Gretchen, just that made things much easier for me and I will begin to learn how to properly navigate through this website. I have taken an immediate liking to Aerospace & Defense, and that is the SAP route I will most likely begin pursuing. Thanks for taking the time to reach out to me and any information such as what was just provided is a tremendous help.

There are tons of SAP customers in the Atlanta area. I'd suggest to apply for any suitable job at any of them and then work your way through. No matter what books you read or certifications you get it is extremely difficult to get an SAP job without any experience. You'd have better chances to get into the SAP team after working at a company as an SAP user. Every company I worked for had someone transition from a business or other IT role into SAP as long as they demonstrated the skills and interest. Business knowledge can be of more value than knowing which check boxes to check.
