Surely an active social life would be a reason to go contracting? When I was contracting I worked a couple of days a week from home, was never in before 10 and usually gone by 6.
These days I'm working 60 hour weeks as a matter of course, when the stress gets too much I'll be going back to contracting myself.
I do keep thinking about it to be honest.. I just have friends/family/stuff/etc locally and to go off contracting somewhere (unless I could do it from home) would do my head in.. If you live in London I suppose there are many contracts where you could work from Home, but I live in Lincoln
