I've helped a lot of people stop working, so you're definitely incorrect on both counts.

Most commenters here are responding to their fears or anxieties of being a teacher specifically, which is one of the simplest and quickest solutions (among many) to their stated goals.

If your goals are to minimize work to maximize your own time, becoming an English teacher is a very simple and fast way to achieve those goals.

That is practicality; the opposite of delusion.

There are many other ways to work less and have more free time that you and the others are too afraid to investigate, let alone seriously attempt.

This is very common anxiety, and an example of your delusion you're projecting.

My suggestions, that you have not heard or considered, work when actually attempted.

Maximizing your own time and minimizing the amount of work you have to do is a very simple goal to realize by various methods.

It's just scary for you because If those are your goals and you succeed in achieving them so quickly, it means that you've been wasting your life complaining about something you could have changed at any time because you were too afraid to be sincere and ask for help.

Often, it turns out that maximizing your own time and minimizing work are not your values and goals and you don't know yourself as well as you thought you did, which also frightens people.
