Question IT Contracting

Apologies in advance. This topic is way of the theme of this forum but it is clear to me that a great many of the contributors work within IT and many are actually contractors.

It would appear that contracting fits in well with being a wannabee as it provides a good source of funds and also gives flexibility with regard to work commitments so that ATPL exams, Hour Building in the US, flying courses etc can all be fitted around the contract.

My questions are - Is this a fair assesment or in reality is it neccesary to continually contract to make ends meet (IR35 etc) and also any tips on getting that first contract. Is IR35 making it no longer worthwhile or are the costs being passed on to the clients?

Should I give it a crack, currently an OO Reqts Analyst & Designer (But bored of it).

Thanks all
