Not all contractors are consultants. I just walked out of a gig at 100/h where I could, optionally, have billed overtime, worked 60h, and been making over 300k. As a consultant, I've billed nearly 500 an hour, so do your math on six hours a week of that. ;) The terms didn't feel permanent in this situation, I also couldn't drive myself to work more than 6 hours in a day, so I moved to a position with a salary closer to that which wasn't tied to a weekly timesheet.
