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:
  Postulate 1:    Knowledge is Power.
  Postulate 2:    Time is Money.

As every engineer knows:    Power = Work / Time

Since:    Knowledge = Power, and Time = Money
 Then:     Knowledge = Work / Money.

Therefore:    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.
