Theres no "best career", so think of groupings, not one-true-answer. It can be helpful to have some life goals to plug in as well. Want a family? Want to move a lot? Want to be on the road a lot? Content with comfortable income? Striving for private jet? Looking for fame? Or anonymity? This can help eliminate areas. For example I-could- be z doctor, but I don't like sick people. So I'd be a bad doctor. Look at what you enjoy. Most can't make a living doing things you enjoy, but some of us get lucky. Do you want to work for a steady paycheck, or the unpredictability (and reward?) Of being self employed. Overall though, I'd say it isn't as big a deal as you probably expect. You're not deciding for the next 40 years. Life takes twists and turns and people often end up far away from where they started.
