As an engineer who has worked in a large corporation, I had always heard that the company's business executives would always make more than the company's engineers and scientists. Now, an intrepid reader has sent me an e-mail with a rigorous mathematical proof that explains why this is true:
Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power.
Postulate 2: Time is Money.
Now, as every engineer knows,
Work = Power x Time
Since
Knowledge = Power
and
Time = Money
we have:
Work = Knowledge x Money
Solving for Money, we get:
Money = Work / Knowledge
Thus, as Knowledge decreases, Money increases, regardless of how much Work is done. The natural conclusion:
The Less you Know, the More you Make.
