Dilbert's "Salary Theorm" states that "Engineers and scientists can never earn
as much as business executives and sales people." This theorm 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 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.
Example:
Managers and sales people make more money than the engineers and scientists.
