This from The Economist editorials:

"Wage Inflation"

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

Postulate 1:
Power = Knowledge

Postulate 2:
Time = Money

As every Engineer knows:

Power= Work/Time

Since: Knowledge = Power AND Time = Money

Then: Knowledge = Work/Money

Solving for Money, we get:

Money=Work/Knowledge

Thus, as knowledge approaches zero, money approaches infinity regardless of work done.

Conclusion: The less you know, the more you make.
