"Given a choice a Manager will almost always opt for a contractor and to top it all of Contractors earn more cash."
This hasn't been my experience at real-world medium-size companies around here. I have friends in several, but almost everyone's IT department has a VP or director that has a policy of "absolutely no contractors", so I can't get a foot in the door at any of these places. If they want something done, they _only_ do it internally. They will buy outside products, but they will not outsource development work.
The other medium-big companies in the area have contracts with big groups like RHT or EDS, which is really frustrating and annoying.
