Since I hate posting nothing but woe and depression. I didn't make this one up, I just pass it along, as I know some of you reading will appreciate it.

Why technical people get paid less than managers.
Engineers, Scientists, and Technicians almost never make as much money as business executives.

Let’s see a rigorous mathematical proof that explains why this is true:

Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power.

Postulate 2: Time is Money.

As every engineer knows, Power = Work/Time

Since Knowledge = Power, and Time = Money, we have Knowledge = Work/Money

Solving for Money, we get: Money = Work/Knowledge

Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity regardless of the Work done.

Conclusion: The Less you Know, The More you Make.

XD oh, that's fantastic, and so logical too!

I wish I could post this up at work, but I don't think the managers would take it with the same amount of humor I have for it >.>

Ever so true... and a very disturbingly accurate connection at that! *LOL*

I am both amused, and as someone who has an MIS degree vaugely insulted too. I'm not sure which is the dominant feeling right now. :P
