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.
