Salary Theorem

Salary Theorem

Everyone knows the Salary Theorem establishes that engineers and scientists can NEVER EVER earn as much money as businessmen, salesmen, politicians, and actors easily make.

This theorem can be demostrated by reducing it to a simple mathematical equation:

The equation rests on two postulates: Postulate N°1 :

Knowledge is Power Postulate N°2 :

Time is Money

Given that : Power = Work / Time and because : Knowledge = Power Time = Money therefore we have : Knowledge = Work / Money

We can now easily obtain :

Money = Work / Knowledge So when Knowledge goes towards zero, Money goes towards infinity, regardless of the value attributed to work, even if the value of work is very small. On the contrary, when Knowledge goes towards Infinity, Money goes towards Zero, even if the value of Work is High.
