>>> Dilbert's Salary Law
>>>
>>> Engineers and scientists will never make as much money as
>>> business executives. Now we have mathmatical proof that
>>> explains why this is true:
>>>
>>> Postulate 1:    Knowledge is Power.
>>> Postulate 2:    Time is Money.
>>>
>>> As every engineer knows,
>>>
>>>         Work
>>>        --------  = 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.
