I'm a 9w1 INFP in high school, trying to figure out what I should do with my life. Currently, I'm very interested in international relations or foreign service as it would enable me to work with people hands-on to help them solve all kinds of problems and discover the different perspectives and beliefs of people from around the world. However, my mom believes I have a highly idealized perspective of international relations. She says that most people who work in this field don't make the world a better place but actually are the ones who create the injustices in this world. She doesn't want me to be surrounded by people with completely opposite intentions as mine because I would suffer much. Frankly, I agree with her entirely, but at the same time, I want to do something to end these injustices.
With these things in mind, should I pursue international relations or is there something out there I am even more fit for? Other fields I am interested in are sociology and psychology. The 2 most important things I'm looking for in a career are to do the thing I love most—helping people and to discover the diversity of the world we live in. Thank you a lot for reading this, and I would greatly appreciate any advice. Sorry for the ramble.
