If you're looking for a better wage then you might have to start embracing evil. Students at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania worked out how much it would cost to build the Death Star and came up with a figure of $8,100,000,000,000,000 ($8.1 quadrillion!?), which is 13,000 times the world's GDP.
So that's the cost for the raw steel but the real cost must be unknown because the technology is not invented. Same applies for the Enterprise, how do you put a price on a functioning warp core?
