I'll start with the obvious flaw here: it's not worth it financially AT ALL.
1.7 million EURO? plus a meager 1000 euro monthly stay-pay? let's say you stay 10 months, thats 10.000 euro 'salary'? on a 1.7 total paycheck? lol.
let's take some reasoning here why 1.7 million is nowhere near enough : it starts with INFLATION.
the trip will cost you atleast 100 years. lets say you stay a year. perhaps 2. thats 102 years. 102 years of INFLATION.
1.7 million EURO today is not little money, but it isn't massive paycheck either. i dare say that somebody with a doctorate, that does some engineering work scientifically, and saves his income for 15 years, will make MORE than that.
but again, INFLATION. in the 70s, you could buy a american brand new muscle car for about 5000-6000 USD tops. that's tenfold today. 40 years time, tenfolded for JUST A CAR.
that means that you could argue that in 100 years, prices have been raised by 25-fold - lets theorize salary has, too.
that means that if rent costs 1000 EURO today, A MONTH, then we face 25.000 EUROS a month for just rent alone = 300.000 EUROS a EFFIN YEAR.
that means that from that 100-year trip, where you end up with nothing, have lost 100 years of advancements technologically and intelectually, no friends or family, you are ONLY able to pay RENT for about 5 years tops, lets' assume you are able to live 3 years TOPS when paying for rent AND food, AND clothes. WITHOUT any connection left to modern society. not qualified for any job because you've lost 100 years of advancement. atleast 50 since your last trip.
it is NOT worth it in ANY way with that paycheck.
the idea must be that it gives you a benefit to do such a big thing. 1,7 million is rather little money for just a 10 year trip. it should ATLEAST be 20-fold that to make it remotely intersting. 50 million the LEAST. i'd say, make it more attractive and slam a 100 million EUR paycheck on it, AND put on a 1-million EUR bonus for EVERY single intact non-vegatative lifeform, and a 3-million EUR bonus for EVERY single lifeform STILL ALIVE, and a 100.000 EUR bonus for every blood sample of a categorized, carefully monitored and graphically registered lifeform.
that means that you'll make 100 million from the trip alone, you bring back 10 intact lifeforms [10 million], 5 alive creatures cryod in [15 million] and 30 bloodsamples and registered material [3 million] = 128 million dollar.
that sounds more plausible, and atleast conciderable.
if your average minimum fulltime income is about 15.000 EURO's a year of salary, that means a fulltime cleaner is able to earn 15.000 EURO's,
then in a 100 years, that 25-fold, would equal 375.000 EURO a year. again, that's minumum income.
if you argue that a soldier - combat ready - earns about 33.000 USD a year, that means that a soldier will make around and about 760.000 EURO annually.
just to put things in perspective.
