[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband is a contractor.  The pay is better, benefits are better and much more flexibility.  He can take a day off/no issue, leave if one of us gets sick, etc. and everyone is great about it.  The funding is always a concern and stability.  However, we know it could happen so we make sure we have enough savings to get us through and live much more under our means than we should.  For the significant salary difference, its worth it.  The negative is you can only go so far as a contractor and the fed's make the decisions. [b] Most of the feds have no clue about what is really going on or any idea what the contractors do and they just manage the money and overall scope. [/b]

You are better off with a smaller company as large contractors take a huge cut as they have tons of overhead.  Pay is much better.[/quote]

This is very agency-dependent.  I haven't worked at NASA, but I know a lot of folks who have.  I don't think it's intellectually rewarding to be a contractor at NASA.[/quote]
