Dilbert’s Theorem on Salary states that engineers and scientists can never
earn as much salary as business executives and sales people. This theorem
can now be supported by a mathematical equation based on the following two very well known and famous postulates:
Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power, or Knowledge = Power
Postulate 2: Time is Money, or Time = 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!
