Get a PhD and become an academic, given some of the retards I've studied under you'll be on the upper half of the bell curve with your 97 IQ.

Honestly if I were you, I'd become a pastor/imam/etc. Unless you're in a real tight-knit religious community where you can succeed the current leadership, you'll have to go to some church's theological schools. It's not true work to some people, but it can be a very meaningful life.

OK, you want an honest opinion?
Being closer to the average level (100) is actually more beneficial for a person than having an extraordinary high (≥130) or extraordinary low (≤70) IQ. Most dweebs on this board think that IQ is like getting an achievement in their vidya - the more you get, the better. It doesn't work like this in real life. The closer you are to the average, the more opportunities you have, because there are more people of your level who can offer you something in exchange of your abilities. Being extremely dumb or extremely smart is both disadvantageous from the evolutionary point of view.

Post-Modernism requires very high iq to understand, probably more so than almost any other area of philosophy (though it obviously depends on author). The problem is that its very hard to misunderstand stem concepts, especially more mathematical ones, where as philosophy is very easy to misunderstand. This problem is confounded by that fact that its very hard to tell whether someone understands concept from a second person pov, so idiots who misunderstand philosophical texts wont get it sortet out because they can pass classes writing regurgitative essays without understanding anything.

Most people are nothing more than a sentient ape.

You'll just be a slightly less sentient one 5 years from now but things will be normal otherwise.

Graduate and go to business school

You will make millions with the rationality you have developed from your training in philosophy.
