I need that to thrive. I worked as a massage therapist for a year and couldn't deal with the unsteady income, etc. I'm with you on the need for stability.

Sure my bosses are very flexible and I can sneak away for a vacation home whenever I want, but then I come back to NO money. I'm going on salary in the next few months and I am definitely looking forward to that. Although, since it's a contracted position I will still have no benefits.
