I know no one can tell me what to do, but I'm hoping a response on here might spark an idea with me.
I've switched majors 3 times now, and yet I still cannot figure out what I want to do. It's a little frustrating when seemingly everyone around me has a career path.
It's seems so simple to say 'find something you love' but it's really not that simple.
How did everyone out there come across their career?

School and work place reality are often Very different .
Switching majors is pointless until you actually experience the field .
Flip flopping in school is a kids behavior .
Get out , do some internships or work ,
get your feet in the water .
You can read books about swimming until you're 60 and still not have a clue ,
Unless you actually get in at some point .
Besides , the textbooks are only a remote view of the tasks that you will encounter in real life .
Being a student is fun but has little connection with career reality .
( unless you're majoring in nuclear physics , then it might be more connected , but you did NOT mention a single thing about your field of studies . . .
Hmmmmmmmm , what's up with that ? )

Been there, done that, I have a BS in Psychology and never used it.
The important part FIRST is to go through the classified section of the paper and see what you see advertised the MOST of and see if that job peaks your interest. Then check on salary.com and make sure it pays enough to where you can make a living at it.
If I had to do college over again, that is what I would have done.
Just remember that A degree is better than NO degree. My very first jobs that I got when I graduated didn't care what my degree was in....but they did require that I had one.

what makes you happy
and what do you enjoy doing
your hobbies, the envirnoment. are you independent. or team worker. the location. all factors into what you want to do.
look in your past to determine what made you happy
read books and magazines
talk to your family and friends. maybe they know something about you that you don't. or take a career quiz.
good luck.
