Contract job is not for someone fresh out of college. One needs to have certain amount of experience and skills to work as a contractor. Here is a tradeoff between the independence of a contractor and job security of an employee. Again you don't have to engage in office politics as a contractor but also don't have the support of a colleague when get stuck.
I would suggest you to try it. If it works for you then continue.
