I'd start with what I "felt" I wanted at the time. AT THE TIME. Life is constantly evolving, you are evolving. What you want today may not be what you want tomorrow, & there's nothing "wrong" with that. In fact, it's rather fun! I'm not suggesting to get all fragmented & have no direction. Yet, life is serendipitous, & without notice--doors can open that take you on another path. I've had over six "professions" (I assume that's what you mean?) in my life, & still have three I like the best. But tomorrow? Who knows? What you "want to do with you life" isn't carved in stone. If you think of it in that way, it can truly deprive you of all the wonderful things you can "do." I have just let myself "flow" with the phases in my life, (guided of course by my choices at the time)! Just try "putting yourself" into what most appeals to you now, & let tomorrow be tomorrow. Good luck!

I'm 33, married with a new baby.
I only now know that is what I am suppose to be doing.
Friends family and a way to earn bread that you don't actively hate is good enough, believe me.
Don't stress about it! I know a guy - a farmers son who went tried a dozen careers only to become - a farmer. He's happy enough now...
In short - it doesnt matter what you do at college - you can change it. I studied a degree in sociology, but have worked as: IT installation engineer, Statistician and a now a Contract Manager. I would like to build houses..... might try that next.

I've known many people who have taken on a career, and change to another (or take more classes) later. There is nothing wrong with this--it is quite common.
My nephew will graduate from college in May. He still has no clue what he wants to do.

It jsut fell in my lap. I had one child and then I became a MAMA. I went to college and even grad school I had a career but being a mom is the greatest thing in the world. It finds you, because I would have NEVER chosen this.

How do you know what you want to eat?
How do you know where you want to live?
How do you know what you want to wear today?
Try something out. If you like it, continue, if not, try something else.
How do you build a 100 ft tall statue of budda; the same way you would build a 2 ft tall statue of buddha, only more so.

make a dartboard with all the classes that you have taken, take a dart and throw it at the board. Now, throw away the board because that was absolutely useless and think of which class you liked best.
