Now there is proof

Engineers have long pondered why sales folk earn more than rocket scientists. Perhaps Politicians should be included in the list of this immutable laws beneficiaries?

 

The 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 (which we all accept as true):

 

       Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power.

       Postulate 2: Time is Money.

 

       As every engineer and scientist 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.
