I worked as a temp for a while early on and it was valuable to me. I think I remember working for 6 different companies over that stretch. I learned a variety of skills...probably more than if I was full-time during the same thing all the time. I built up a network of people that I could email when I was looking for work. I was offered a full-time position in two of the jobs. I turned down the first one and continued to temp and took the second one that was offered.
