THE SALARY THEOREM
(No Ratings Yet)
Loading ...Usually, Dilbert is very realistic, but never so much as in this! 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 postulates: (which we all accept as true)
Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power.
Postulate 2: Time is Money.
As every engineer and scientist 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.
