Heartsbeat, the same things could be said about EVERY job. I would PREFER to sleep in late, get up at my leisure and read a good book all day. However, if I want to continue to do things like pay rent and eat, I get up early, go to work and collect a paycheck. Does that make me a slave? No. It makes me EMPLOYED. Each position has its own responsibilities and you knew (or should have) what you were getting in to when you signed your contract.
