Temp or Perm

After listening to advice from both friends and family, i finally told the agent I'm looking for perm job and not going to uni. It will be much easier to find perm job and of course, much higher pay and benefits. But, i still feel bad for giving false statements. No choice, want to earn more and have monthly pay instead of hourly. Haha, wondering if there are many people doing this? Hope everything goes well.
