You might want to take some advice from a succesful ex-contractor then. And that advice is to unplug your head from your arse and look around. Seriously.
Joke of the day! A permie comes to a contractor site to lie about how important he is, and gives advice on achieving success

I can never understand why some contractors think the life of an itinerant IT jobber living out of a suitcase and just about reaching 6-figures a year (provided their contracts are long and regular enough) is the height of success.
Then again IT people aren't noted for seeing the bigger picture or their political skills, are they?
Now if everyoone was on £500-£1000 a day I would understand, but that's just the minority of top-end contractors.
When I was a contractor I liked the money compared with my permie peers but I always wanted money AND to a certain extent the power to run things.
