I was a contractor for 14 years, and I kept running into people like you that didn't realize I got paid a lot MORE to come in and fix the problems that the full timers couldn't.

Reminds me of the folks I tell I work in "IT", and they think I fix printers all day.

Nah you also come on comment sections to brag about a wage you got decades ago. Times have changed old man

The point is that some people didn't realize contracting was a step up, not a step down.

But sure, take offence and presume I'm bragging. I imagine you're a lot of fun to be around.
