“What do you want to get out of this: Money, Job, Fame, Recognition or Satisfaction? Choose only one!”
This is what somebody asked me who can help me with my idea should it turn out to be a viable idea.
Interesting question. After thinking a bit, the answer is: Satisfaction.
Money and Job: I already have a good paying job and a good résumé.
Fame: Is probably overrated.
Credit: Is important but should be an effect, not a cause.
Satisfaction: Fun! I’ve discovered that is really one of my key personal drivers.
PS: The idea I have looks like a long shot right now, but I am still doing research.
