Yes. It rains from the pasta machine in the heavens, giving us all plenty to eat.

Then I'll have to determine whether I want to get a law degree and become a politician, or go for a doctorate's in marketing and become a marketing manager/ad creator for a company like Koch Industries.
I'm intelligent, my father (while not wealthy) has connections, I've gotten into one of the most prestigious dual-enrollment programs in the nation. But what to do... what to do...
My father wants me to become an actuary (so much so that he flew me out to Alta, Utah to see one of his rich friends who owns an actuarial firm in a sort of, "Look what you could be!"), but I'm not one to crunch numbers all day for people I'll never meet.
My mother has threatened to leak baby pictures if I run for office (although it probably won't make much of a scandal, I was a cute baby ).
But no-one has any objections to me becoming a marketing manager. Then again, I'm fairly megalomaniacal, so politics is a field that I could flourish in. Hell, I was in a debate with a few college kids last week and one of them called me "intimidating."
So, TET, which should I pursue, considering your prior knowledge of who I am, as well as all detailed here?

Keep in mind, that unlike most people, I've acknowledged that the meaning of life is taking it up the ass from your superiors until you one day usurp them, invariably with some sort of careful manipulation. I'm willing to forgo my own views and self-interests in the name of more power.

You really are living in fantasyland, aren't you? 0_o
Work on that rampant ego before making any career moves, I'd suggest. Especially considering the two career options you're weighing up. Both need life and social skills, not an IQ.

Hubris is my fatal flaw indeed. I have realized this, and work hard not to let it destroy me. But mine is perhaps a less reckless hubris; my pride does not make me engage in battles I know I cannot win. Rather, it causes me to be blind to what I sacrifice for my own ends. Perhaps that type of hubris is more dangerous, especially to me. But all one can do is try to combat it. One of those ways is taking advice from others rather than relying on only yourself, which I did for a long time, mistakenly. Thanks for that.
Oh, and social skills are something that I have; otherwise I'd completely fail at all of my goals. But a life, now that's different. I don't have much of a life. Plotting is my favorite pastime.

You are the cookie cutter "teenager that have been told they're clever" build. Genuinely, it's fascinating how this comes up so often everywhere.
Good luck to you, you have immense competition ahead of you.
