I'm asking out of curiosity mostly.

Is anyone here into digital marketing? That's what I'm studying for right now.

So the travel was great for the first two years and then never being home started wear on me big time. It wasn’t so bad because I met my husband at work. We managed to either get sent to the same sites, or do office work remotely from the hotel room. But Automotive was stressful.

Switching to a larger company changed my life big time. Better benefits, more resources, less of the “we need all hands onsite, we can’t afford to let you stay home” emergencies.

That said I haven’t tried contract work, but I have known people who did really well with it. Taking a 6m contract and then having enough to take the rest of the year off. The contractors I worked with were always paid better than we were.
