Thesis
[Source unknown] 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 in fact true.

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

As every Engineer knows,

          Work
          --------     =  Power
          Time

Substituting
          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.
