well said.

Time != money

Money can be made. Time is much hard to make if at all.

Exactly. We're trading our time for money so the more we make, the less of our time we need to sell (if we're responsible financial planners anyway).

EDIT: Ambiguous wording

Yes - but I am also learning a lot. I don't think I would have ended up knowing the things I know somewhere else. I am pretty good at dead-panning through negotiations :). In two years I will have a full suite of financial modelling code that has been tested on billion dollar products.
