Temp-to-hire offer, worth it? - 9 months and counting

I got a contract offer for 4 months as a school bus driver and I am unsure whether to accept. It has been weighing on me all week. I have 9 months of savings left. Did a contract become permanent?

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

Ask about extension likelihood and whether the team has hired contractors before.
