Contract or Permanent Position?

30 April 2008

Lawrence works as a marketer for a US IT multinational but he has not held a permanent job for years. Several years ago, he switched from being a professional holding a permanent job to become a contract worker. He wanted to spend more time with his working wife and three children.

Jaclyn too left a regular job as a medical practitioner to become a contract locum. She felt it was more lucrative as her earnings were about 30% higher than what she used to get.
