My dad sent me this really funny thing about salaries I got a kick out of it.
Dilbert's "Salary Theorem" states that "Engineers and scientists can never earn as much as business executives, sales people, accountants and especially liberal arts majors." This theorem can now be supported by a mathematical equation based on the following two well known postulates:
Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power. Postulate 2: Time is Money.
As everyengineer knows: Power = Work / Time.
Since: Knowledge = Power, then Knowledge = Work / Time, and Time =Money, then 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.

hmm...but if your knowledge reaches absolute zero, you get an undefined salary...might be a problem...but i guess it won't be for you, because you already know some stuff...we should all quit school now so we can make more money.
I've heard this one, it's great. Good find! I wonder, if you hinder instead of help (ie, negative work), do you lose knowledge (-/+ = -)?
good thought Jeffrey.
We should try the losing knowledge thing. See what happens.
