I'm still of the opinion that working for others isn't going to make you
good money.

It seems like you either have to be a contractor or run a successful
company not contracting to make good money. Only a minority get rich from
shares obtained from startups (mine are worthless bits of paper I'm
certain, much as it pains me to confess my wasted time).

The contracting market is excellent, but you have to really know your
tech, know how to make your CV appealing to employers and know where to
pitch yourself. If your non-contracting company makes it big, however, the
returns are even bigger.
