To Inc. or Not to Inc.?

rikkards asks: "I have just started as a contractor for a government office and am doing this through a recruiter. Said recruiter is saying I may want to incorporate myself. I am wondering if it is really a good thing. I am not sure whether or not I want to stay as a contractor for the rest of my career. The money is decent coin (for today but maybe not 2 years ago). Does anyone have any pros/cons on doing this? If I do it soon the recruiter will do it for me."
