Dilbert's Theorem on Salary

Dilbert's Theorem on Salary states that engineers and scientists can never earn as much salary as business executives and sales people. This heorem can now be supported by a mathematical equation based on the following two postulates:

Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power.

Postulate 2: Time is Money.

As every engineer knows:

Work
------ = Power
Time

Since Knowledge = Power, and Time = Money, we have:

Work
------ = Knowledge
Money

Solving for Money, we get:

      Work
------------------ = Money
Knowledge

Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity regardless of the amount of Work done.

Conclusion: The Less you Know, the More you Make.
