Why Businessmen earn more than engineers ! Our mechanic's professor's reasoning of ""Why businessmen earn more than engineers ! "" If we equate the two variables namely into the two field's general statements, - Time is money - Knowledge is power We know, - Power = Work / Time Substitute the variables into the equation and we get, - Knowledge = Work / money Rearranging we get, - money = Work / Knowledge Proving that as Knowledge reaches 0 money reaches infinity. And so the smarter you are (engineers?) The less you earn.
