I'm in a similar situation to you, not exactly but at least similar in some regards. I graduated from university in 2010 in Business Management. 2 years later and I haven't done much. I didn't really know what I wanted to do during the university course and currently still don't. I'm flirting with something in dietetics/nutrition and am starting the education required for that, but not sure how things will go. My CBT therapist recommended this homework for me (which I'm currently doing) and it may be of benefit to you (it's about the process involved to help determine the right career path):
Step 1: Write a list of possible career options based on interest.
Step 2: Write down the pro's and con's for each career option.
Step 3: Then rank the options (which are most attractive, which are the least attractive). When looking at the pro's and con's, to help you with the ranking, focus on those that are most meaningful to you.
Step 4: Find experience/volunteering in each career option you listed, so you're kind of ''tasting the menu'', seeing what they're like in practice and put more emphasis on the higher ranking options. It's all about finding out what's meaningful to you, not about performing.
I also recommend that you see this exercise not as a must do but instead as an opportunity to help you, even dipping slightly in and out can help. Generally speaking though, take it one step at a time, if you want to at all.
Hope that helps?
All the best.
