My advice is to do research on the jobs/ careers u want to pursue- talk to people in these field/career counsellors to get some ideas. There are some personality test u can do.
Also study something that interests u, not want pple want u to.
U must know what is your strengths. Do u enjoy interacting with pple?
Are u meticulous & likes problem solving?
Your 1st degree is only a stepping stone, it is alright to change career midway.
I have frens who studied engrg but end up doing sales & my bro is a lawyer but he went into financial investment. During your hols, u could try temporary work to get some experience, then u will know what suits u.
interacting with ppl, well..sometimes yes..sometime no. but i prefer to work on a person. i tend to be a solo type, but there are exceptions..
problem solving, well i like to analyse things then give a conclusion/answer
meticulous only if i like doing something..
