Something amusing I found on the net

Engineers and scientists will never make as much money as
business executives & salesmen. Now we have a mathematical
proof that explains why this is true:

Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power.

Knowledge = Power

Postulate 2: Time is Money.

Time = Money

As everyone who learns science knows,

Work
---------- = Power
Time

Since Knowledge = Power, and Time = Money, we have:

Work
----------- = Knowledge
Money

Solving for Money, we get:

Work
------------------ = Money
Knowledge

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

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

Note: It has been speculated that the reason why Bill
Gates dropped out of Harvard's math program was because he
stumbled upon this proof as an undergraduate, and
dedicated the rest of his career to the pursuit of
ignorance.

Now I know why there is a saying called 'ignorance is bliss'.
