How do I become successful in life like my parents and siblings, without going down the same path they went down?

My parents and siblings all went down the marketing path and have successful jobs and companies. I am leaning towards other things but feel like I can’t be successful in life if I don’t follow what they all did.

How to narrow down a cluster of different career paths and interests, to about 3 or 4 and focus on those few, without uncertainty and second guessing?

The majors I am interested in are so different from each other (ex: architecture and law) that I am having a hard time to narrow it down to just a few.
I am aware that I don't have to know now but I am on a time crunch and my goal is to narrow it down to 2 and stick with it.

In a job interview, I often hear that despite it being illegal, there are questions such as age and sexuality asked. What is a good way to get around this?

According to various sources (including personal contacts), interviewers sometimes break the law in terms of personal questioning. Of course that would make the interview difficult, and so I wonder what some tips are to help cirumvent this.
