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.

Internship opportunities
I am still stuck on my life beyond high-school. I know that College and the army reserves are paths that I will most likely take. I am also looking into the medical field as I am very interested on making an impact on people's lives and also making the world a better place no matter how small. I also need to find internships that will give me some insight on the field, so I can get early experience and build on my decision. Any recommendations of free internships in Columbia SC will be greatly interested. I am still undecided about what specialty, hopefully I make a decision soon, I don't wasnt rush the process and make a decision I regret though. Goodluck to me.

Is it more practical for me to become an aerospace engineer or a mechanical engineer ?
I've dreamed of making rovers and even designs for them to launch into space and discover new things in different planets. I recenetly went to a college fair where engineer professionals and college proffersors were presents and I had asked about a specific aerospace program to one for the college representatives. The representative told me that since aerospace engineering is such a niche career it isn't as practical to become one. He told me that a mechanical engineer is more likely to enter into space organizations (such as NASA and SpaceX) than a aerospace engineer. It left me with lingering thoughts of wether I should still focus of aerospace or view mechanical engineering as an alternative.
