I'm thinking about changing jobs/starting a new career but I have no idea what I want to do. Where do people start with this? How do you know what is the right job or career path for you?

I've never known what I wanted to do, even as a kid I would give vague answers like be an explorer or an inventor but was never be able to elaborable on what I wanted to explore or invent I guess I just thought it sounded cool.

I'm 28 with a degree in accounting and finance but don't want to workin in accounting or banking which I only realised after starting uni. I've worked in or done work experience in childcare, hospitality, retail, customer service, recruitment, administration, finance, hospital laboratory and translating. None of those areas appeal to me and I'm at a loss about what to do next

My hobbies are baking and reading but I don't fancy being an author or a baker so I don't think trying to turn a hobby in to a job would suit me either.

How do people know what they want to do for a living?

some people can work with people and some people can work better with computers. So that's an important question to ask....or maybe some people can work with both?

I'm scared of seeing blood so stuck to admin kind of jobs. Can't be a nurse or anything dealing with customers.
