Dec 6, 2018 Any Industries That Are As Alpha As Finance?

Tell me which other industry has people wearing thousand dollar suits (suits=most alpha type of clothing), Rolexes (Rolex=most alpha type of watch) and driving sports cars (sports cars=most alpha type of car) while banging their supermodel wife? Tech and engineering are full of virgin nerds and they don't even wear suits totally un-alpha. Medicine makes you deal with gross, old, dying people and lawyers can't wear Rolexes to court or drive in with their Lambo because the poor people in the jury will be jealous.

Finance is the epitome of an alpha profession, you go through the easiest schooling compared to lawyers, doctors and engineers and then you make the most money, couldn't get more alpha. Apart from oil (you're literally fucking the Earth and getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars alpha af, if only they wore suits) do any other industries compare to the Chad financial industry?
