Just for laugh

Saw this on the facebook's Daily Humor App. Found it quite interesting, so I decided to reproduced it here

The Money Theorem

Dilbert's Theorem on Salary states that engineers and scientists can never earn as much salary as business executives and sales people. 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, and Time = Money, we have:
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 Earn.
There's always these sort of weird humor coming from purposeful mis-interpretation of commonly known formulas. It kind of amazed me on how the brain of these inventors work. In any case, I do not think that being a business executive or sales person is an easy tasks - it requires a totally different skillset. As an engineer, however, I'd think that it'd be easier for us to develop inter-personal skills rather than for a sales person to pick up engineer related skills.

In conclusion, being an engineer still rocks. And being an engineer / business executive is even more cool. =)
