Dilbert’s Salary Theorem

1. Dilbert’s Salary Theorem Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power Postulate 2: Time is Money As every engineer knows: Since, by postulate 1, we know Knowledge = Power, then Since, by postulate 2, we also know Time = Money, then

2. Dilbert’s Salary Theorem, cont. Solving for Money we get Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity, regardless of the amount of work done. Conclusion: The less you know, the more you make.
