You need good IT skills in a certain area, and a good cv. You then have to find a contract / job. Do NOT give up an existing job to do this, unless you have several years of experience, and are good at what you do. Then check out the current positions available, apply and see what response you get. Getting contracts can be a real pain in the ar*e. Too much time spent waiting for the final phone call, which never seems to come. They also normally want you to start within a few days, so you have to be unemployed at the time. After waiting a month to get the contract, you earn a lot for 3 months, and are then unemployed looking for work again. It can work out well, and you can earn contract rates for years, but you can also spend months earning nothing, and getting very frustrated.
