I think when you're in your (I'm guessing) early -or-mid-20s there is a tendency to underestimate how much time you have ahead of you. Whatever you decide, it's not a lifetime commitment. Take a job, work there for a year, or a few years. If it turns out it's not for you, you've gained experience, you've learned new things about yourself, and you still have plenty of time to transition to something different.
There will be a time when you understand yourself and what you want much better. For me that was maybe my mid-30s. The only way to get there is to try things, and see what happens. I suggest making choices that lead to new experiences, such as travel. That gives you new ways to learn about yourself, and more chances to run into something that really grabs your interest.
