The money is amazing - it's never the same gig everyday - and one you get some time under your belt u can set your own price and "rules" if you prefer the contractor route vs employee route (I do). For example - I won't take a contract where I am forced to work on-site. This allows me to work multiple contracts from home (SERIOUSLY doubt E*Trade would let me bring AT*T hardware in the data-center to work while I am on the clock - LOL). Start small - help desk/maybe desktop support and learn EVERYONE'S job around you. You can't lose.

SicStangs - yes I have heard of practical - you guys do a lot of our contracts on the scope-dope side. Good stuff - ur pM is returned!
You just gave the worst advice I've heard in a long time . The job market is saturated with people "learning others' jobs" and then thinking they can conquer the world. How many opportunities do you see about people just, "Letting contractors in because they learned someone's job" ??? Also, where do you think these people will meet Networking employers if they ask for Job advice on an Import Car Forum?

Be real with people- It's even more competitive now than it was a couple years ago, and that's where I'll leave this.
