Dilbert's Salary Theorem . . . (Editted By: Lil' Viv) 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.
