Power, Work, and Money

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

So, for any positive non-zero WORK, MONEY approaches infinity as lim(KNOWLEGE→0).

Thus as KNOWLEDGE approaches zero, MONEY approaches infinity regardless of the WORK done.
