Sharon,
You have forgotten to mention that 121 nis per hour means that you have to 
check 11, 14 or 19  papers per hour (depends) on the module.
So considering all the hours you spend going back and forth, waiting at the 
Marvad and putting your life "on hold" for at least a month it's not such a 
big deal. But if you  need money, go for it.
