Whether you prefer work as a consultant rather than as a member of staff all depends on the individual I guess.

If you like to travel, or you get bored doing the same thing or working with the same people, being a consultant is a great opportunity. It's also a way to learn about different types of businesses.

But for someone who has a family and prefers a more stable kink of lifestyle, I wouldn't recommend it. But different people like different things.
