A couple of weeks ago DH seemed like he didn't want to take a contract position, but this week he is all about it. He wants to take this position, because it pays 30k more than the other offers he has gotten. Thing is, we would have to get our own medical/dental/vision, retirement, and life insurance (Is there anything that I am missing there that we would have to pay?) He also would not have any paid days off, but he did take out 2 weeks of unpaid vacation from the salary to figure out his total pay. He says the position is stable and probably would not have any problems finding another job if needed.
DH has never done contract work and I am very leery of the unknown. DH has always had the goal to get paid over $100k by the time he is 30 and this would help him surpass his goal by quite a bit. Are the numbers just getting to his head or is it worth it to take this position? Has anyone ever done contract work or has your SO done contract work? What are the perks/drawbacks?
