Consider your passions first and foremost. What do you like to do? What are you motivated to talk about and study in your free time? What kinds of topics are you excited to share with others? What are your natural talents and skills? What did you enjoy doing when you were younger, when did you stop, and why? (For instance, sports, art, and other hobbies.) Consider all these things.
In other words, do a little soul-searching. This probably isn't the answer you are looking for, but there is no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to the career choice that you will be living with for the rest of your working days. We spend more time working than we will at home or with friends and family, so that time should be doing something we were made to do.
Search deeply!

I'm biased, but if you love people and being creative, Human Resources is one of the easiest fields to get into and can be quite lucrative. It's in high demand right now and some places don't even require a degree to get started (although the more education you have, the more income potential you have!).
I have a bachelor's degree and PHR certification (a seperate certification you get once you qualify) and I average 73,000 per year. Before my bachelor's I made just over 40,000. Human Resources Generalists are the most popular and in demand and you can start out as an assistant.
Essentially, you handle all things associated with employees; their pay, their benefits, sexual harrassment investigations, hiring, termination, etc. You really have to be good with people, and you get to create training sessions and incentive programs! It's really a lot of fun and I've learned to enjoy it.
Sales is a tough field to get into and very demanding and competitive, so I'd avoid that. Operations, Information Technology, Marketing...these are other options you may wish to consider.

Try either Pharmacy, or Pharmaceutical sales. I do the later and it pays very well and is steady! I do have to travel more now that I'm a regional manager.

Highly recommend the book "Cashflow Quadrants" by Robert Kyiosaki. He talks about all four ways of making money in this world and the best way is to move yourself out of the left quadrants to the right.
If you are serious about finding out how to make that move, you can email me from my profile.
Best of Luck in your search
