This blog entry is for those cribbing about their low salaries and comparing their salaries with their friends in other companies. Not intended to hurt anyone's feelings and opinions.To be taken in a lighter spirit.
I received a mail today about something called as the Knowledge Theorem, that states "An Engineer cannot make as much money as the Politicians, artists". The author used the following "inductive procedure" to substantiate the theorem.
Two adages everyone is aware of - "Knowledge is Power" and "Time is Money". If represented mathematically, these two adages would be
Knowledge = Power
- eqn. 1
Time = Money - eqn. 2
High school physics has taught us that
Power = Work/Time.
From eqn. 2, Time = Money, so
Power = Work/Money
From eqn. 1, Knowledge = Power, so
Knowledge = Work/Money
Rearranging the quotient and the divisor would result in
Money = Work/Knowledge
The lesser the denominator, the more is the fraction. Hence proved!
If a person is earning less, that means he is more knowledgable. The converse of the statement is, however, not true.
