>-For those teaching limits: Here is a proof that higher

>Why will Engineers and Scientists never earn as much as
>less educated individuals?
>We begin with two postulates:
> 1) Knowledge is Power.
> 2) Time is Money.
>As every Engineer knows:
> Power = Work / Time
>Since Knowledge = Power and Time = Money, we can use
>mathematical substitution to find:
> 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.
>Conclusion: The less you know, the more you make.
