Re: Salary question

Not sure how helpful this will be, but I had a 6 month contract as a researcher for $120k without benefits. It was twice as much as other contracts I'd been offered because it required a security clearance. I also had almost 10 years experience vs. the 3-4 most of the other contractors had, and I didn't have any debt (which sometimes gets figured into the contract amount). I've known people to get defense contracts for twice as much as what I got from the private company I was with, but contracts in the private sector are usually under $100k per annum unless you have at least 10 years experience.

Be aware that your contract must spell out what your duties are exactly and set work hours or at least a weekly cap. If you're working as a personal researcher, like for an author, your contract should include a daily cap for work hours and the time frame for the author to notify you of what hours they need you on a given day.
