Well, 'better to be a slave for the ones you love than -a slave for an unknown power or -a slave in punishment (what Christians would call "working in the fire-pit for all eternity").'
And it's not "slavery" since you're welcome to quit; you'll miss the payment (which is what makes the labor 'worth it' to you), but you can probably find suitable work out there---maybe you can 'keep your ears open' and have a new, better job waiting for you when you give your current employer your quit-notice ... or not, I don't know anything about 'exclusivity clauses' in contracts.
"Slavery" comes from a wordroot that means "Slav (as the Eastern Europeans--whose name might mean "Speech,
Word, Hearing" or maybe "Glory" (the meaning of the suffix -slav in many of their names)--were frequently enslaved by conquerors)." That's a wordroot shared by "Slave, Slaves, Slavs, Enslave, Enslaves, Enslaving, Slaved, Slaving, Slavish, Slavocracy, Slaver, Slavers."
