I get the feeling that MBA degrees get compensated fairly well...more so than tangible real life experience. What is it about MBAs that is so valuable to the employer?

MBA improves your overall understanding of running any business. So, when it comes to consulting, where you face multiple clients with variety of problems, your MBA comes to work.

It's a signaling effect. You got into a top school so you're clearly capable - ability to score high on gmat, good pre-MBA work experience, essays and interviews, etc. If you can get through that process it's usually a safe bet you're smart/a hard worker and you'll do well as an employee. Companies want stable, hard working, intelligent employees
