Show me the money. SHOW ME THE MONEY!

I strictly do it for the money. I dont really like it. Its boring. Im very good at it and so there isnt any challenge.

The problem is, having done things away from IT which are very diverse -they so far havent paid as much, have not been guaranteed, have been much harder work but have been a damn sight more fun.

Then the missus gets herself knocked up and.........

OMG (not the pop group of the 90's), that's exactly what is happening/happened to me!

I hate the work I do, where I do it and the people I work with are about as exciting as drone bees. But I'm very good at it and really the money is the only reason I stick it out -- and will hope to stick it out for the next 5 or 6 years in order to be able to choose my next move with somewhat more freedom. Free your house, build up a reasonable nest egg and then you can really loosen those bonds.

And now the baby wants a piece of the pie!

RE: Is every contractor depressed?

I don't think contracing makes you depressed so much as the fact that invariably bein a contractor takes you away from your home Mon - Fri which can be a real dra if you have a wife and kids.
I love the job & the people are great - it's just the life on the road/bedsit/digs that I hate and the feeling like I'm missing my kids grow up!
