Which job is the perfect fit for me?

Perspective Degree-

Perspective Advanced Degree-
Joint in MBA/J.D.

Strengths:

-Good with Numbers (very good with arithmetic, quick with calculation of numbers, quickly able to identify error in calculation, etc)
-Strong Analytical skill (Extremely detail-oriented)
-Strong Research skill
-Easily shows enthusiasm in works I do
-Initiative (Self-starter)

Weaknesses:
-Mediocre with Math (highest math taken - Calculus II)

-Horrible at Life/Physical Science
-Horrible with Computer and anything technology (Basically no programming experience)
-Arrogant
-Easily gets tired of doing redundant tasks

Preferred Lifestyle:

-Absolutely detests working in the same office for long hour
-At least $200k after 15 or so years of experience (assuming I didn't totally lack behind everyone else)

Any ideas on what career would best fit my interest the most?
I was looking into Forensic Accounting but the salary prospect is too low to meet my standard.

You scream corporate law. If you practice in venture capital, you'll be working with both venture capitalists and startup firms. Looks like a fun area of law....I think relatively new, too. Most of the BigLaw firms don't have an established venture capital practice.

This is the area I want to go into as well. If you end up choosing this path, we might cross paths someday.
