good pay but high stress if you will have a job tomorrow.
Pros: The pay. Good pay and easy work. I have simple projects with lots of detail. The deadlines are flexible as long as I am making progress. The pay is great but since I am with a contractor, no benefits.
Cons: The lack of job security. One week im secure for years, the next week I am on the chopping block. Very nerve racking. There seems to be always a budget issue. Apparently it is possible to go from contractor status to full time regular status....but we shall see. Also there is no teaching. You need to learn the job yourself or you sink.
