So, let me get this straight: you're sooper smart and you don't even take the time to work out your words properly?

Here's everything you need to know for the next ten years: people will take you at your word and when it is the shit-fest I see up above all I can think is that you're bragging and looking for validation.

If you're smart, act it. Otherwise can the act and read, lift, read.

I think your progress is great, and it's very important to be comfortable with your social life and status. That being said I think you shouldn't rest on your laurels. If you keep reaching for the top, the higher you go, the hotter the women who cling to you will be.
I don't really think there is an "alpha" profession (as long as you aren't a janitor, or some low level blue collar job). I think you can be successful with both your career and with women in almost any field. So try to pick something with a combination of high potential to grow, and something you enjoy.

My personal suggestion? Software engineering. You can start learning now for free, and a great many software engineers make 6 figures, and if you're coming from an Ivy school, 6 figures out of college. It's honestly quite a creative profession, and it has one of the highest satisfaction percentages of all careers.

Finance or Law from an Ivy League should set you up pretty good.

If you want a good career. Look to go into finance/ accounting. End goal is becoming a trader/going into investment banking. I must tell you though. The years of 18-30 you're going to be huddled away in a book anyway or an office working long hours no matter what your career is usually.
