For high IQs, they will start work in government, MNCs and banks. Not easy to start another government, MNC or bank...

whatever you do, the first one or two jobs are very important. a branded degree is sometimes required (or at least extremely helpful) in getting your foot in the door in prestigious entry-level roles. even though after that it's up to the individual, the branded degree holder would already be part of an exclusive club that's hard to break into afterwards. only ibanking analysts can eventually be ibanking MDs, only (mostly) scholars will get into the Admin Service, etc. don't underestimate the power of the first job.
