Let me guess, an immense contribution to the sciences but the return on
investment looks like a charity endeavor.

Martin Luther said after nailing his little paper to the door of that
church (very roughly translated) "Here I stand because I can do no other." Few
of us have figured a way to actually make money at this. It is a passion.

(Ever get up at 4 AM because you figured out how to capture a miniscule
feature on a meteorite thin section and can no longer sleep?) I'm not saying
I am up there with the hunter but we all have our voices in our head.

Hypothetically and very roughly:

What should a person earn per year, I mean, what shall she or he have for
an
income left after all his expenses,
if he or she newly recovers per year by own means, let's say:

1 lunaite
1 Martian
10 HEDs
3 Rs
5 Carbonaceous - CMs, CKs, CRs
2 rare others, like ACAP, BRA, WIN or else.
1 relatively unique stone

Let's say, that's already enough.

Which salary should that person have in your opinion, compared to usual
occupation groups?


Good Night!
Martin
