Because students and other layabouts with loud mouths and no family to 
feed don't value human time?

After all, human time is the only resource that is always fully limited. 
Any other resource, you're likely to be able to get as much as you need, 
for some price. However, with human time: Once consumed, there is no 
more! You get 30,000 days on this earth (give or take), and that's it. 
Make sure you spend it well!

Sincerely,
