This is a common problem for a lot of people i think. It seems to me from your post (though i'm not 100% sure) that you are young. This is a major factor. You simply are not old enough to have experienced enough things to know what you'd truly enjoy. Even if you did, you're young enough that it's very likely your personality, and thus interests, could change over time.

When you find something that is really meant for you, you'll know it. You'll feel it. Your "eudiamones" ("guiding angels"; greek; not necessarily religious) will tell you what you're meant to do. Variation: "listen to your inside voices;" "listen to your soul," etc etc. It sounds corny, but it is absolutely true. When this happens it will hit you like a brick. However, it does not happen to everyone, and really it takes a lot of effort to "find yourself," which this is a huge part of. Like i said though, people change. You could "find yourself" tomorrow, but you could change completely in 6 months. Some people never find themselves, it is a hard thing to do, but very, very rewarding.
