How can I figure out what I really want to do with my life after college?

So I graduated from college a few month ago and landed a job in software development... it's not bad, it coincided with my computer engineering degree, and so that was good to get a job right out of college....

But Idk, it just seems like it's not something I want to do for the rest of my life..... I mean it's not like slavery or anything, but I just don't find it thrilling anymore.... I mean I used to code for fun and do pure mathematics for fun by myself.... I guess coding 8 hours straight a day really sucks it out of you.

Recently I've been looking at other fields, like psychology, sociology, leadership, education, or politics (more notably the life-path of Barack Obama as inspiration), not really in the commercial aspects of things for material gain or "ooo look at me I make 100k/year".

Ik I'm in my early twenties and all.... but I'm just feeling like after I graduated, I feel like I'm doing something that I might not wanna do anymore, but I really don't know what to do anymore with my life. It's definitely not the long-commute 9-5 in a cubicle, but it seems like college prepped me for a life track thats hard to get off after getting a degree, and I don't know where to start to reconcile this.

Any answers/advice (for me or for others wanting similar answers to similar problems) is greatly appreciated.

      Adopt a cheerful disposition on life.

      Hang around new people your own age.

      All will become clear to you soon enough. You'll learn something new in another place and have a new perspective on life.

What's an assertion, and what should I type in?

Compesh is a question and answer (and debate) website, so before you make a debate, you better learn what an assertion is. I suppose you already know what a question is, and that you've typed it in the box. ;)

An assertion, is basically a statement you can make, that is either true or false.

Richer people have better health.

The question for that would be, Do richer people have better health?

And don't forget to make your assertion, match your question.
