Engineers and scientists

(page last updated 30/08/98).

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

Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power.
Postulate 2: Time is Money.

As every engineer knows:-

  Work
--------    =  Power    (read as Work divided by Time = 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 Work done.

Conclusion; The Less you Know, the more you Make.
