Similarly, as knowledge approaches infinity, money converges to 0 regardless of how hard you work. Conclusion: The more you know, the less money you make.<p>If you did not understand the proof of this theorem, don't worry, it means that you have a huge salary.<p>[ April 10, 2002: Message edited by: Resilient ]</p>

And it recently hit home---a very valued (younger) employee of mine is looking to take a job in pharma sales (to work towards a position in market analysis/product launch). One of the issues is the money that he can make.
