star trek the original series

[regulators]

if star trek was a true reflection on real life, what kind of a salary could captain kirk have expected for being in charge of such a huge ship and so many staff and did he ever see his bank account at the end of the voyage and how much was in it

By the time that Star Trek set off on its 5 year mission, Earth had moved on from such trifling matters as working for money and had become more interested in accumulating knowledge and wisdom, therefore there were no monetary rewards.

I would not be surprised that out there somewhere some Trekky nerd has drawn up a salary scale for Star Fleet officers.
There is a Klingon dictionary so this seems almost sane in comparison!
