Dilbert™'s Salary Theorem


Dilbert™'s Theorem on Salary states that
Engineers, Teachers, Programmers and Scientists
can never earn as much salary as business executives and sales people.
This theorem can now be proven using the following three postulates:

Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power (Knowledge=Power)
Postulate 2: Time is Money (Time=Money)
Postulate 3: (as every Physics knows) (Power=Work/Time)

It therefore follows:

Knowledge=Work/Time
and since Time=Money,
we have: 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!
