>We begin with two postulates:

>	2) Time is Money.

>As every Engineer knows:

>	Power  =   Work  /  Time
>
>Since Knowledge = Power and Time = Money, we can use

>	Knowledge  =  Work  /  Money
>
>Solving for Money, we get :
>
>	Money  =  Work  /  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.
