The Final Proof Why Engineers Don't Make Money

Published on Mon 26 October 1998

Engineers and scientists will never make as much money as business executives. Now a rigorous mathematical proof that explains why this is true:

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

As every engineer knows,

Work
---- = Power
Time

Since 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 Work done.

Conclusion: The Less you Know, the more Money you Make.
