    If your up for a busy job that sometimes you will have loads of time on your hands and others you will have to bring your work home(as in work instead of socialising) go for it! Its risky and you will never have a stable income and you may find it hard forecasting your financial future for buying a house or what not but the benefits can be amazing! My cousins is a contracting in software development for business and at the moment he lives in a average house and earns enough money to pay off his mortgage and buy a bigger hours but he cant. ‘What if’ in few years time he can’t find work as easy as he can now? He is young and says he won’t do it for his entire career and actually he is considering entering a partnership in a software development business. I have not spoken to him in a while so dun no how he is getting on. What ever you choose be positive I suppose.
    Good luck!
