Salary Theorem

A good postulate stated by someone called Gilbert. The theorem is quite good so thought of putting it on my blog

Theorem on Salary states that engineers and scientists 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 three facts:

Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power (Knowledge=Power)
Postulate 2: Time is Money (Time=Money)
Postulate 3: (as every engineer 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 & vice-versa....
Corollary : This is the reason why BOSSES are paid more ! ! !

So we have now a scientific background to the fact of salary
So all engineers stop feeling bad even if you are paid less
