Dilbert's "Salary Theorem" states that "Engineers and scientists can never earn as much as business executives, sales people, accountants and especially liberal arts majors." This theorem can now be supported by a mathematical equation based on the following two well known postulates:
Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power.
Postulate 2: Time is Money.
As every
engineer knows:
Power = Work / Time.
Since:
Knowledge = Power, then
Knowledge = Work / Time, and
Time =
Money, then
Knowledge = Work / Money.
Solving for Money, we get:
Solving for Money, we get:
Money = Work / Knowledge.
Thus, as
Thus, as
Knowledge approaches zero, money approaches infinity,
regardless of the amount of work done.
