That was not the point was it? You sayin the random guy who sold Gordon Ramsey his oven for 300 $ so he (Gordon) can make the best burgers in Las Vegas is more alpha than Gordon Ramsey because that random guy supplied Gordon with a utility?

Just do something you will enjoy and hopefully high-paying. Dont chose an entire career just to be alpha.

Who gives a fuck? Pick something you enjoy and has a base pay that supports your life and then focus on being the absolute fucking best and most knowledgeable person in that profression.

Dude you don't follow a career to be alpha. A career doesn't make you alpha. Girls can sense when your self worth is vested in your money or job and it turns them off or you get manipulated and become a sugar daddy. Nothing worse than guy who's confidence is in his money. Because you may not always have it. And when it's gone what will you be if that is where your confidence was? My gf is an attorney I've met her lawyer friends and coworkers. They are beta cuck as fuck. No lie. Money is there only asset as a man. She has friends that are doctors wives. Those dudes are all beta as fuck. I wouldn't put up with a woman talking to me the way there wives talk to them. And everyone one of them is always looking me up and down with look in there eyes when a chick is imagining a guy fucking her. I won't ltr any woman who makes the same or less than me. Not looking to be somebody's financial stability. I've tried to help some of her lawyer friends get good with women. If you want to discuss where these guys go wrong and how not to be like them. Pm me.

Anything that you take pride in and enjoy. Who gives a fuck about the perception of "alpha". You are not your job. You can be the most alpha school teacher if that is your calling, and you could easily be the biggest blue pill cuck ex special forces firefighter turned oil rig worker. Find what you enjoy, THEN worry about how to monetize it.

High-paying labor careers. Roughnecks and more highly skilled oil and gas industry guys in Houston bring in some very serious bank when the economy is strong, and have the whole "rough, tough, hardworking" alpha vibe to them. When you're fit, bringing in $150,000-$200,000 to year, and your career qualifies you as a roughneck, you're going to drown in pussy.
Other careers with high salary (but not nearly as high as in O&G during "good times") would include: power distributors and dispatchers, boilermakers, and construction managers. Out of these careers, I would think that construction managers would be perceived as the most alpha -- because you're the one leading, giving orders, telling others what to do. And you'll be making the most money. Again, with the exception of O&G roughnecks during peak years.

Except lots of those roughnecks cant think for themselves. My dad works with those guys. They generally wife up a slut who spends her and him into mountains of debt. They work hard. They earn every cent and work their asses off often destroying their bodies or risking their lives.

You're absolutely right about that. But, well, am I giving OP too much credit? Is he not intelligent enough, and RP enough, to avoid such a trap?
The point isn't that roughnecks aren't the great leaders of society, paragons of intellect and maturity, but rather that they're fit and make some serious bank when times are good.
I could share stories of my time in Houston, of roughnecks wifing up gorgeous women, spending themselves into mountains of debt, getting divorce raped, and then doing stupid things like paying for new tits for their ex-wife in hopes of reconciling.
But if you're RP... and you have a decent head on your shoulders, personal constitution... it's a good career for someone who, as OP admitted, isn't very intellectual.
