I'm doing temp work myself and currently looking for another job in my field. You have to constantly be looking when you are just going from short-term contract to short-term contract.

Honestly, to all the young highschool guys and gals on here, please reconsider before you go to college. Lots of college graduates are struggling right now in the workforce. Don't go to college just because your parents, school counsellors, teachers or peers tell you to. Consider your options. There are other ways to get a well-paying job than going to college. And getting a degree, even in engineering or some other so-called "well-paying degree" (lots of engineering grads are unemployed or underemployed so don't think you are safe just because you are going for a Bachelors of Science and not a BA), is far from a guarantee of a well-paying career.

I'm telling you right now, if you take up an apprenticeship instead of going to college, chances are you are going to cash in a lot sooner and make some good money. College requires so much sacrifice, but not enough rewards to go around.
