What are the best jobs for an INFP-T?
I don't have parental pressure but I do. They say I can be whatever I want but it would be nice if I was a doctor. I don't hate people, but I do hate people that are disrespectful towards me. I'm not a hard worker if I don't need to be, but when I know I need to work hard for something, I put everything into it. Medicine is not my main focus, but nothing is. Everything is dull, and all subjects are the same, I don't favor anything!

I was wondering what the most beneficial shadow would be, as I'm interested in math (nuclear, astronomy, and maybe coding and engineering.) What kind of job should I look for?
What is a "volunteer internship" And is it any less legit/effective than a position that is just called an "internship"??
Found a grants and fundraising position that's called a "volunteer internship". This confused me, since I have usually seen "volunteer" roles and "internship" roles as separate categories. So what's the difference between a "volunteer internship" and a normal "internship"? Would a "volunteer internship" mean less mentorship, not enough learning experience, etc.? Or, is the only difference between this "volunteer internship" and other normal "internships" that it's a nonprofit organization, and potentially unpaid (it was stated that "a small stipend may be available depending on future funding")? It still seems that I would get helpful experience through this role, since I have no grant writing experience. I also got a pretty quick response to my application (literally same day as I applied), and I only had to submit my resume. Both of these details made me wonder if this would lean more into the "volunteer" side than the "internship" side.

What to choose between Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering?
"I'm a 10th-grade student trying to choose between Mechanical Engineering (MechE) and Electrical Engineering (EE) for my future major and career. My priorities are: 1. Job stability and financial security. 2. Working in metropolitan or tech-hub areas (I want to avoid being trapped in remote industrial zones, which I've heard can happen in MechE). 3. Flexibility to pivot across sectors throughout my career. 4. A focus on building sustainable and environmentally friendly machines and technology(something I'me very passionate about), which both fields seem to enable. The reason where I'm having the most trouble deciding is my own preferences. MechE sounds familiar, working with tangible things and building stuff sounds fun. EE sounds a bit scary, for that matter, along with a bit arbritary. But I blame that on my lack of knowledge and am trying to fix that too. But, if there are any professionals who could give me some insight into : 1. What it’s like to study and work in MechE vs EE 2. Career opportunities, flexibility, and financial/job security in each field 3. How realistic it is to work on sustainable technology in each discipline 4. Any advice for someone trying to discover their passion in engineering (if you can recommend any articles, videos or even online courses to get an idea or introduction to the mentioned majors, I'll be very grateful) Thanks a lot in advance.
