I love it when there's a stupid survey done, skewed to the hilt, that reveals the dire straits of the current crisis and how we Indians (Asian as some call us in the Middle East) are the loyal puppies who work more for less...

British expats working in GCC states earn more than double the salary of their Indian expat peers, according to the results of the Arabian Business Salary Survey 2009.

Well, to prove my point that we're not only good at maths but also paid less! You've probably come across the Dilbert Equation:

Postulate 1: Knowledge = Power
Postulate 2: Time = Money

Since, Power = Work / Time
Therefore: Knowledge = Work / Time = Work / Money

Solving for money, we get Money = Work / Knowledge
So... as Knowledge approaches zero... Money approaches infinity regardless of the work done!

See... I told you we were better, just that we don't get paid well !! Now you know why some are paid more... ;)
