The Salary Theorem | 薪资定理

English Original

Dilbert's "Salary Theorem" states that "Engineers and scientists can never earn as much as business executives and sales people."

This theorem can be supported by a mathematical equation based on two postulates:

  1. As every engineer knows: Power = Work / Time
  2. Since:
    - Knowledge = Power
    - Time = Money

Therefore:

Knowledge = Work / Money

Solving for Money:

Money = Work / Knowledge

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

Conclusion: The less you know, the more you make.

呆伯特(Dilbert)的“薪资定理”指出:“工程师和科学家的收入永远无法与商业主管和销售人员相提并论。”

该定理可以通过基于以下两个假设的数学方程来证明:

  1. 正如每位工程师所知:功率 = 功 / 时间
  2. 由于:
    - 知识 = 功率
    - 时间 = 金钱

因此:

知识 = 功 / 金钱

求解金钱:

金钱 = 功 / 知识

因此,当知识趋近于零时,金钱趋近于无穷大,无论做了多少功。

结论: 你知道得越少,赚得就越多。
