Dilbert's Theorem on Salary states that engineers, programmers 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 three postulates:

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