you must like to contract. i have done it before and when they finish with your job , good by. the worst was i had have my on insurance- heath and did that cost alot. no 401 k or other benfits. did that for little more than year.
i know guy that work for ibm, they lay him off and rehire him at lower salary doing same job as a contractor. no benfits. if he was sick, did get paid.
