Where do the smartest students in this generation go: Tech or IB?

I'm not asking which career pays more, is more competitive, or has better exit opps; I'm merely wondering where the smartest students end up. I go to a tar get that, although it's very strong in the physical sciences, is not great for engineering/computer science, so my view is quite skewed since there's a disproportionate amount of people here going into IB. Perhaps people at other HYPSM/T10s can opine on this? Thank you.

Neither, they start their own companies. The best examples are Mark Zuckerberg and Ryan Cohen, the advertising and retail geniuses of the millennial generation.
