I understand that MBA's can command high salaries, so they're helpful for the degree holder in that sense, but how useful is the degree beyond just being a signalling mechanism for potential employers that the candidate is driven?
I would say the majority of the degree is in its signaling effect. In general I would say thats true of most degrees, its a heuristic that indicates something about a candidate.
Luckily, in terms of actual skills, some MBA programs are offering more quantitative classes in big data and product management/application development which I think is catching the degree up to modern times.
