One thing I've noticed. The professional take on contracting varies quite considerably by sector, and in IT, because we are mostly heavily office bound, we tend to become "part" of an office without realising it. You suddenly have a set desk, a work phone, a pedestal, then your shmoozing and socializing next thing you know it you are sharing inside jokes and buying everyone donuts on Friday (a couple of contractors on my project just bought us all cakes - not complaining!).
In other sectors freelancing comes more naturally, like journalism, photography, design, etc...
