Dilbert's "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 postulates¹:

 

As every engineer knows: Power = Work / Time

 

Since:

 

Knowledge = Power

 Time = Money

 Knowledge = Work/Money.

 

Solving for Money, we get:

 

Money = Work / Knowledge.

 

Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity², regardless of the amount of work done.

 

Conclusion:

 

The less you know, the more you make.
