>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.
