You can tell us about the unexpected downsides too if you want.

It's Your Own Fault.
Nothing to do with your lack of a degree - it's because you joined the ranks of the great unwashed - the permies.
I've been a contractor for almost all of my working life. In almost every contract I've had I've been offered a full-time post - and turned them all down.
Live free - be a contractor!
I've worked through the 80's and the 90's as a freelancer. In downturns, like this one, companies want people who they can take on for a few months and then drop them if the cash gets tight. With the right skills and the right CV you can coin it during this recession.
Gaz me and we'll talk.
Cheers

Hmm, things are different over here now, Legless300 people at a time, you're basically not looking at good numbers.
Trust me, you're better off where you are right now. Over here it is b0rked, big time.
