How did you overcome moments when you wanted to give up, with the number of years of hard work required to become a doctor or work in the medical field,

How can I explore what I am interested in and want to do in the future?
I ask this because I don't know what I want to do yet.
I don’t know… I am lost… What do I do? I’ve hit my all new low.
A few days ago I felt like I’ve hit my all new low… I don’t know what major to do in college nor do I have a interest in any majors or what college I want to go. Despite going on many college tours in-state (Massachusetts) and out of state, all of them stood out to me, but I cannot choose one because they have great benefits in different areas. In the end of the college searches none has really grabbed my interest, I just thought it was like High School 2.0 with harder classes and more responsibilities. Not only college have lacked my interest but my major and career goals. I’ve done some shadowing and summer programs over the summer to see what I like, but from business to working at a hospital, I did not feel that click or attachment in any of those fields. I also took a Real Estate class with a friend to see if I do like it, I do like it, but I don’t feel the drive or passion like the other programs/shadowing. I just feel lost about my future career or what I even want to do. What do I do? Should I take a gap year to further figure out? Or should I go into college undecided? I am open to any advise or comments.
