Definitely worth considering. You really need to consider if you are willing to move to a domicile (if you don’t already live close to one). There is better money as a contractor than as a commuting NB FO, BUT there is nothing easier for the money you’re making at this job. You’ll have less responsibility than you’ve had in 20+ years. If you’re in domicile, it’s a no brainer. Other than during the busy months, you can sit reserve, collect checks and forget you even work for that money most of time.
