"The answer? Because some of us actually like tech." - Yep.
It's true that it's much more difficult to evaluate MBA competency than engineering competency, but I do think the market is some what efficient. I've worked some pretty idiot MBAs (Harvard no less) and they haven't really gone anywhere too far.
Also, at least here in San Francisco, I've met more MBAs than I can count wishing they were engineers so they could build their ideas themselves. Consider yourself incredibly lucky and privileged to be able to take your idea from pure thought stuff to reality.

The market might be efficient at something, but that doesn't mean that it's efficient at rewarding engineers.
It is almost certainly efficient at rewarding engineers enough, but perhaps not enough to make engineers happy.
