Temp-to-hire offer, worth it? - 5 months and counting

I got a contract offer for 10 months as a data-entry clerk and I am unsure whether to accept. I have 5 months of savings left.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 5 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

If savings are low, I would accept and keep applying. You can leave for a permanent role if one appears.
