Working on contract basis as a structural engineer
Working on contract basis as a structural engineer
(OP)
I was wondering if anyone has any experience and/or advice on working on a contract basis as a structural engineer as opposed to a full-time salaried employee. My motivation for wanting to do so is as follows: 1) I don't need the health and other benefits etc. as I have those from another source 2) I will be moving out of the area in the two years and don't want to commit to a company, and 3) I see the potential to work and get paid for more than 40 hours per week (which is desirable at this time in my life as I am putting kids through college). What would be the range for an hourly rate? I welcome any advice that I can get! Thank you!

Advice? Like any other job: just work hard. The nice thing about being a shopper (as they are sometimes called) is: you typically don't get involved in company politics.
