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 postulates:
Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power.
Postulate 2: Time is Money.
As every engineer knows :
Work
----- = Power
Time
Since Knowledge = Power, and Time = Money, we have:
Work
----- = Knowledge
Money
Solving for Money, we get:
Work
----- = Money
Knowledge
Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity regardless of the amount of Work done.
Conclusion:
