Something very liberating about being a hired gun. i started work back in the 60's, when lifetime employment was still implied, and coping with the 'insecurity' of contract work was the utmost in professional courage. I'd been on my own doing a mix of contract and consulting work for about a year when I realized I was totally spoiled for a 'real' job. Contracct work puts employment on a sound business basis and effectively gets you out of the range of the worst of office politics. You don't have to pick sides in departmental brawls, and you don't have to work if someone's pet project isn't funded enough to pay you. The best part is that you're there for your technical skills, not to play silly games to show your boss what a team player you are.

I think it's great. Good luck.
