Maybe one month you want to work 40 hours a week, the next you want to work 20 hours a week, the next you want to work 40 again. That's quite hard to arrange with a traditional job, but often possible with contract work. Especially when you work somewhere that has a few contractors doing similar stuff and you can just arrange amounts of work between you and your peers.
