"Salary Theorem" states that "Engineers and Scientists can never earn as much as Business Executives and Sales People." This theorem can now be supported by a mathematical equation based on the following two postulates:

1. Knowledge is Power.
2. Time is Money. 

As every engineer knows: Power = Work / Time 

Since: 

Knowledge = Power 

Time = Money 

It follows that: 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 make.
