Answer
Hello.  That is a hard question for me to answer since I know very little about you other than the 3 sentences you included in your question.  So I can only offer a general answer.  Look for opportunities that fit your:
1. personality traits
2. skills and abilities
3. values, dreams, and passions

Also, talk to people who work in careers that you are interested in.  They will be able to tell you what their jobs are really like.
