One of the most common questions I get asked when folks ask me what I do for a living is, "Why would anyone want to be a contract therapist?". Well I have all sorts of answers to that question!
As a contract therapist, you have more flexibility than anyone else in their career. You get to choose when and where you work. If you don't like the location, the setting, the people, you don't have to work on that assignment. If you want to only work 24 hours per week, that's ok. If you want to work 40 hours this week and none next week, that's OK too.
You don't have to worry about getting involved in the polics of the facilities. You go to work, do your job and go home. You have a pre-negotiated contract assignment with your hours and days off specified before you ever step foot in the door. There is no bantering back and forth for a pay increase. As a contract therapist, chances are you are making about 20% more money than the staff therapists at the facility!
I could go on and on, but I will save the rest for another post...just to keep you on your toes!

Are you a contract therapist? Please post your comments. We want to hear from those of you who have first hand experience!
