Dilbert's Theorem on Salarygreenspun.com : LUSENET : Current News - Homefront Preparations : One Thread |
Dilbert's Theorem on Salary states:
Engineers, Teachers, Programmers 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 three postulates:Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power (Knowledge=Power)
Postulate 2: Time is Money (Time=Money)
Postulate 3 (as every Physics student knows): Power = Work/TimeIt therefore follows: Knowledge = Work / Time
and since Time = Money,
we have: Knowledge = Work / MoneySolving 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 Make

Barefoot, anyone who handles a drawing program as well as you do will never qualify as stupid.Here's an example of stupid. I explained the concept of computer user names to a very dim secretary at work who asked me why I wrote my user name with a slash though the O (a slash through an 0 means it's a zero!)
After I told her this, she spent several minutes searching her computer keyboard for an O with a slash through it, and then asked me if it was okay to just use a small o . . . yeah, sure! If you don't want your email to get there.
Man, I'm glad I'm in tech support.
