Initially I thought I'd rather be salaried. But I have come to the conclusion that it is better to be on an hourly basis. Technically, we're talking about "exempt" versus "non-exempt." Exempt means the employer doesn't have to follow FLSA (Federal Labor Standards Act) guidelines. It means you can be expected to work "enough to get your job done" and aren't entitled to overtime, for instance. Yes, maybe the situation is such that you could work faster, get done sooner, and go home (or whatever). But far more likely is you would end up being taken advantage of.
