So true...

Dilbert's "Salary Theorem" states that "Engineers and scientists can
never
earn as much as business executives and sales people." This theorem can
now
be supported by a mathematical equation based on the following two
postulates

Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power.
Postulate 2: Time is Money.
As every engineer knows Power = Work / Time
Since Knowledge = Power
Time = Money
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."
