Finding the right career path can be exciting, even if it seems challenging at first. Here are some ways to help you discover what might be a good fit for you:
1. Think about activities you love so much that you lose track of time. Don’t worry about whether they can be a career yet—just focus on what you enjoy. Love gaming? There are careers in game development. Passionate about sports? There are many roles in the sports industry.
2. Consider issues in society that you care deeply about and would like to help solve. Are you interested in finding homes for animals, improving education, protecting the environment, or making your community safer and more beautiful?
3. Reflect on your ideal work setting. Do you prefer working outdoors, or do you feel more comfortable in an office? Think about places where you feel at ease. For example, if you were drawn to a college campus as a child, you might enjoy a career in education.
4. Narrow down your options by eliminating careers you’re not interested in. For instance, if you realized you’re uncomfortable with blood after volunteering at a hospital, you might look for other fields.
These ideas can help guide you. Good luck with your journey!

It can be very difficult to find the right fit for you. Just remember that you can always adapt and shift who you become when you grow up. ;)
I know someone who struggled with determining a major to find a career. She took a bunch of personality assessments to determine her communication style and best work environments. Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a good example. There are many career finder tools out there, but make sure you are taking assessments that evaluate your interests, your personality, etc.
