A person can make more money running missions or ratting than mining, and they can do it solo in a ship that has a chance of defending itself.
Why mine when you can make the same money ratting without a second account?
Mining is the red-headed stepchild of Eve.

Originally by: Ki An The only risk a high sec miner has to worry about is ore thieves.
Mining is the only profession in highsec that carries risk, and its income is similar to other professions.

Let me be honest ... you do sound like you want your private 3-char-corp to make as much money in highsec as a big corp settled in 0.0.
Why should a 3 char highsec mining team make less than one highsec mission-runner?
For tha matter why should highsec mission running pay more than lowsec or 0.0 ratting?
If we want to talk risk/reward, lowsec mining/ratting should be #1 in reward, followed by a tossup between 0.0 ratting and highsec market trading.
Even mining has more risk than mission running, as ppl have to use probes to find the mish-runner.
Mining was an underpaid profession even BEFORE the drone regions.
My advice to all miners at this point is : MINING SUCKS. Go milk L4 highsec missions, get paid 20-30m an hour instead of your puny 3m an hour.

In my opinion, the best boost to mining is moving out to 0.0 with a corp/alliance, and seeing the ORE-Cap ship, I think that CCP isnŠt all that far from me.
Obviously you're no miner.
Mining in 0.0 pays around the same as ratting with more work involved and way more SP needed.
Takes less time to train up Domi with t1 heavy drones than to train for a Hulk.
You mine, you have to figure out where and how to refine/store/sell/transport your labor.
A domi just plows rats and gets paid.
If you want to keep discussing the "balance" between mining and every other profession in the game, talk to me.
I was a professional miner until I found out exactly how hard it blows.
How hard does it blow, Cipher7, tell us please?
Mining is currently the worst paying profession in the game. You can do anything else and get paid more with less risk and less work.
It sucks the big one in about 15 different ways.
