Using calculus to show why teachers are underpaid



Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power

Postulate 2: Time is Money

From Physics, we know that: Power = Work / Time

If Knowledge is Power and Time = Money, then by substitution, we get:

Knowledge = Work / Money

Solving for Money: Money = Work / Knowledge

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

What this means is "The less you know, the more you make."
