    DILBERT'S SALARY THEOREM


    Dilbert's "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:

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

    As every engineer knows: Power = Work / Time

    Since: Knowledge = Power
    Time = Money

    ==> 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.
