Back of the napkin “proof” of why Engineers will always earn less than managers
Finally, mathematical proof that highly trained Engineers with knowledge across many disciplinary boundaries — will always earn less than management.
Understanding the proof requires a “pre-calculus’ understanding of basic math. This of course implies that managers, no matter how hard they try can ever actually understand what we’re saying.
And we Engineers, being a fraternity of the under-appreciated, will never, ever tell them. Why? Well, simply because we really actually love what we do. And we’d do it even if they weren’t paying us. (Shhh!!)
Nice proof!
