OP honestly it took me a really long time to figure out what I wanted to do and it was really by process of elimination. I worked at several places and did several different things before finally landing in a job that I really enjoy.

Thanks for your insight! What made you realize that was what you wanted?

Besides time, I have found that trying new things has been helpful
