"Not that important" depends on what your goals are. Sounds to me like the GP is taking the view that job satisfaction and the pleasure of seeing the work you are doing contribute to the bottom line will be significant to the OP - I think this is good advice.

But we all have different goals at different time, taking a good look at which ones are currently important to the OP will help him/her find a happier spot in life.
