[meteorite-list] Interesting poll...

[starsandscopes at aol.com]

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!
