And here's the part that defines our wages........

THE SALARY THEOREM

The salary theorem states that "Engineers and Scientists can never earn as much as business executives and sales people."

This theorem can now be supported by a mathematical equation based on the following two postulates:

1. Knowledge is Power.
2. Time is money.

As every engineer knows: Power = Work/Time

Since Knowledge = Power
and Time = Money
then 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.
