"The Salary Theorem"

"Salary Theorem" states that "Engineers and scientists
can never earn as much as business executives and sales
people."

This theorem can now be supported by a mathematical
equation based on the following two postulates:

1. Knowledge is Power.
2. Time is Money.

As every engineer knows: Power = Work / Time

Since Knowledge = Power and Time = Money
then Knowledge = Work/Money.

Solving for Money, we get: Money = Work / 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.
