Hi!
Based on everything that you've said, there's a field of engineering that might interest you: Human-System Interface engineering. These people need a deep understanding of how people think (what are called "mental models") to help create the displays and buttons and messages and colors and sounds that can effectively communicate between machines (computers) and the people that use them. This is a field that is becoming increasingly important as humans use machines to do things that are potentially dangerous (drive a car?) or critical (diagnose disease?).
If you do an online search for "human system interface", you'll find information on what's involved and even some career paths that center on human system interface. In school, I'd encourage you to pursue game design, software principles, sensory perception, and psychology. Another weird resource is the US National Transportation Safety Board (ntsb.gov), who has found that the root cause of many catastrophic accidents has been the failure of humans to recognize what computers were trying to tell them. NTSB accident reports often contain fascinating insight into what happens when not enough Human-System Interface work has been done for a system.
Good luck!

Agreed with Mark's answer above.
Based on your wide variety of interests, which is such a great thing, I think engineering and software development, especially with a focus on human <> computer interaction would be of interest to you. Ultimately I think anything where you will be solving problems will be of interest, because problems can be very varied - usually in engineering, no two problems are exactly alike, and so you will be constantly tasked with relying on your curiosity and breadth of interest to solve problems.
In my experience, people who have a wide range of interests and knowledge do well in engineering and "building" type roles because there are more dots they can connect to come up with better solutions for existing and new problems.
I wish you best of luck with your search.

Good Morning,
Since you have so many interests, I'd like to suggest you narrow them down by taking an assessment test. Once you figure out what you're really passionate about then talk to your counselor or instructor about getting some job shadows set up. Getting into the "inside walls" of the organization gives you a great look at what the job really looks like, what it entails. Once you find the pathway, (career) you're interested in you should try and take classes that lend themselves to that content area, and if a CTE program, (hands on elective), you may also have the capability of earning credentials, certifications, or maybe even dual credits into community college. These are all great ways, steppingstones to getting your foot in the door, where perhaps the employer can help put you through extra training and in some cases pay for college. Best Wishes!!

It is great to cultivate a broad interest of options. A great way to explore specific options is to interview or meet with persons you know in the specific field you are interested investigating. Always prepare for the interview by getting as much information as you can about the field then ask questions about what they do in line with your areas of interest. Many persons are interested to discuss what they do with others.
Good Luck

Hello,
Please, examine all the options, one by one. List them, and consider or build them through a scale of preferences.
This would help by considering the extent of your INTEREST and KNOWLEDGE in the type or kind of career chosen.
Best regards in your vision.
