Why Engineers Make Less Money

Why executives make more money

Engineers and scientists will never make as much money as business executives. Now, for the first time we have a rigid 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
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 amount of work done.
Conclusion: The less you know, the more you make.
