Have you thought of doing an interest assessment test? There are several out there from free through $100 dollars. I took one about 10 years ago and that made me go for my science degree. The test did say I would be happier teaching, but that was not what I "wanted" to do. Once I had my AA and decided to substitute while finishing my BA I realized I really do love teaching and took more education credits and pursued a teaching degree. I still love laboratory work but find teaching usually makes me happier. If you are not sure what you really want why put so much effort into something that may just make you more unhappy? You are young and have a long working life ahead of you why not find what you can make money at and be happy doing. I believe the assessment I did was the MAPP . I did take it through a psychologist and he helped interpret it, but you can do it on your own. Just an idea, you did ask for career advice too.
