Thanks dude! You guys are awesome. :3

Given, being a temporary contractor isn't bad, but it's not the kind of thing to do if you're looking for long-term career growth and job security. Temporary contractor roles usually only keep you on for the duration of the project and then, well, it's goodbye. And that can be tough because you meet and work with a lot of great people, but then you need to leave them behind. They're good if you're just coming out of college or so and need something quick, but yeah, it's not something you want to be forever locked into. But on the other hand, you do see a very wide variety of companies and projects.

And yeah, I need these benefits. I shovel out $4400 a year for my own medical insurance plans, and I don't even have dental. :P
