If it is such a windfall for what you deem to be an easy job, then do it.

I sometimes envy the work hours and summertime vacations that my Teacher friends have but I would still never be a teacher. The amount of energy it would take compressed into the those school hours is still more than I can muster. I admire teachers because I couldn't do what they do.

On edit, I am sure the "two words" that many of you have in mind are quite different.
