Dilbert's Theorem on Salary states that engineers and scientists never earn as much salary as business executives, sales people & management guys. 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 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 1: The Less you Know, the More you Make.
Conclusion 2: This is the reason why your BOSS is paid more.
