Confused about what to do after graduation, need guidance.

Hello everyone! My_qualifications Bcom(Hons) from a Tier 2 college of Delhi university. As I’m stepping into the second year, the pressure of doing something is getting real. There are so many of my peers in the first year who are already sorted about what they want to do to in future- whether CA, MBA, banking exam or any govt exams- probably they are going to prepare for the same in the second year and some might have already started it. And yet here i am, everyday I read someone’s linkedin post and there I’m like “oh wow, this job is great it’s paying them well, i should consider this” Some of you will say that do what you REALLY want to do, but honestly I don’t know what i want to do, there are so many career paths in my mind. I’m not only confused about what domain i want to choose- Finance, accounting, banking, marketing, HR, management, consulting, etc but also in which sector i want to be in. Nothing is sorted in my life. Touchwood my family is very supportive, they do not pressurise me into doing something - everything is upto me. I fear that they are trusting me so much and they’ve a lot of expectations from me, what if i fail them. I can say that I’m a jack of all trades, but master of none. I believe that i can prepare for any exam, but if I’ll be successful or not - that even I don’t know. Main thing is I don’t know where my interest lies. I don’t know how to overcome all this. I used to think about CA but then i saw so many people leaving it midway plus i watched the half ca series, where that bhaiya was not able to clear his CA Final exam despite all his efforts and hardwork, I don’t want to end up like him. About CAT, there is also a lot of competition I don’t know if I’ll make it to tier 1 or 2 b-school. Are you guys also in the same boat or am i doomed?
PS-I had taken one year gap for my cuet exam after class 12th, also I’m a very homesick person.
