    Dilbert's "Salary Theorem" states that "Engineers and architects
can never earn as much as business executives and sales weasels."  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
    Then:  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. Thus, executives and sales
people  make more money  than the engineers and scientists.
