My daughter with the computer science degree is thinking that way. She just got on her new husband’s insurance. They can survive on his income. She’s already got people wanting help from her. She’s very independent.
My other daughter in data analytics needs medical and disability insurance. I also think she wants to work in an office.
If you can I urge anyone who can take advantage of IT contract work, I had one contract for about 3 years, guaranteed 40 hour work week @ $40/hour plus time and a half for overtime including travel time.
In the work I was doing required a decent amount of travel all around the country.
Routinely I would earn 20-30 hours per week at $60/hour.
The $2800 to $4000 per week makes that the job financially rewarding
The most I got paid per hour was $75 for a 9 day contract and $5400 in addition to the other job was really good
