Salary: mathematical proof

Engineers and scientists will never make as much money as
business executives. Now we have a mathematical proof that explains
why this is true:

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: The Less you Know, the
More you Make.

Note: It has been speculated that the reason why Bill Gates
dropped out of Harvard's math program was because he stumbled upon this proof
as an undergraduate, and dedicated the rest of his career to the
pursuit of ignorance.
