What Your Boss May Find Hard to Believe...

Engineers and scientists will never make as much money as
business executives.

The mathematical proof that explains why this is true follows:

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

Now, every engineer and physicist knows,

Work
------ = Power
Time

Replacing our variables, Knowledge = Power, and Time = Money,
from above we see:

Work
----- = Knowledge
Money

And then solving for Money, we get:

Work
--------- = Money
Knowledge

Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money conversely approaches
infinity regardless of the amount of Work done!

Conclusion: The Less you Know, the More you Make.

N.B.

Speculation is that the reason why young Mr. Gates dropped out of
Harvard's math program was because he stumbled upon this proof
as a prescient undergrad, and dedicated the rest of his career
to the pursuit of ignorance. . . We should all be so dumb, huh?
