In Gediminas' Page in http://www-stu.christs.cam.ac.uk there's a scientific explanation for the disproportionately larger paycheck of investment bankers over that of engineers and scientists. At the risk of incurring the collective ire of investment bankers, I am posting this borrowed self-deprecating joke for humor's sake. Hey, guys, take it easy...I'm with you, okay?
Engineers and scientists will never make as much money as INVESTMENT BANKERS. Now, a rigorous mathematical proof that explains why this is true:
Postulate 1: knowledge is power.
Postulate 2: time is money.As every engineer knows,Thus, as knowledge approaches zero, money approaches infinity regardless of the work done (sorry, there's supposed to be a formula here but I don't know much about HTML. The paste command doesn't work here),
work / time = power.
Since knowledge = power, and time = money, we have:
work / money = knowledge
Solving for money, we get
work / knowledge = money.
Conclusion: The Less you Know, the More Money you Make.
