Financial Theorem

This was printed in the paper. So it must be true.

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/Time

It therefore follows:
Knowledge = Work/Time

And since Time = Money, we have:
Knowledge = Work/Money

Solving for Money we get:
Money = Work/Knowledge

Thus, as knowledge approaches zero, Money aproaches infinity, regardless of the amount of work done. Conclusion: The less you know, the more you make.

Obviously I'm just too intelligent to make much money. ;) Hah!

The question is where does that leave lawyers? Stereotypically morally questionable, but undeniably knowledgable as well as wealthy...

Discuss amongst yourselves.

But is it the lawyers themselves who really know the facts, or just the paralegals who gather all the facts together for them? I mean really, what does a lawyer himself know? He never has to do any of the work! ;)
