"Dilbert's Theorem on Salary" states that engineers, programmers, and scientists can never earn as much salary as business executives (or contract administrators) 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:

Work / time = Power

Since Knowledge = Power, and Time = Money, we have:

Work / Money = Knowledge

Solving for Money, we get:

Work / Knowledge = Money

Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity, regardless of the amount of Work done.

Conclusion: The Less you Know, the More you Make
