    Interesting question, I would like to see what everyone else says.
    
    From my experience being a consultant is the only way to go in the
    Denver area.  Very few people seem to be hiring full time information
    security people here.  There seems to be a need for security work,
    however.  This makes for lots of short term contracts.
    
    The company I am currently working with has been keeping a constant
    flow of short term work.  This is mainly due to a VERY aggressive 
    sales guy.
    
    I -think- much of the market is like that at the moment.
    
    If my last company didnt relocate me from NYC before laying me off,
    I may have reported something differently.
    
    It may be time to leave the tech world and open a bar, anyone with me?

    Thats my 3.14159 cents.
