The Final Proof Why Engineers Don't Make Money
Published on Mon 26 October 1998
Engineers and scientists will never make as much money as business executives. Now a rigorous mathematical 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 Money you Make.
