I find it interesting that there has to be a minimum at all...the market is going to pay what the market will pay and there is no one here who is forced to take anything. That is why capitalism works where no other system will. There is no single person or organization forcing anyone in here to fly...why assume that there should be some set ROI on whatever anyone has invested be it time or effort, most often both. Artists work for practically nothing because they love it then whine and complain that nobody "gets" their art, i.e. pays for it. Each person has their own intrinsic and extrinsic motivations to do this job...who are we to foist some unworkable solution on others who are not so inclined to make that choice? Working in this industry is much like a bad poker player staying at the table because they are "stuck"...you can always get up and leave and choose another path.
