I'm a senior undergraduate who studies biochemistry and music at a good university, I'm in the top 5 in my class, and all the external signs in my life suggest that I should be on the ball with the world at my feet and able to "do anything I want."

I have absolutely no clue what I want to be when I grow up. I work in a research lab, but don't want to do academic science for the rest of my life because I don't like the life it entails, feel wishy-washy about medicine (and I don't think anybody should go to med school unless they know its what they want to do). I really like the academic side of science (taking classes, learning concepts, taking tests, working out problems), but I don't think I want to be a high school teacher (and professor means going to grad school and doing research). Moreover, I feel a bit burnt out from undergrad, feel ready to try something new, and want to do something that's really fulfilling and meaningful. I'm completely open to do anything (and have even been leaning towards getting away from the sciences)

Let me know, if you lead a fulfilling life, what steps you took to get there and how to make these decisions. What were the best things you did for yourself as you left college and started making professional and career decisions?

Senior undergrad wants to make career decisions (not academic) and don't know how to make them, what is the best way to make career decisions?

I'm graduating from college, and I understand I'm going to live a fulfilling life in the future, but I don't know what I want to do with my life or any of
