Looking for my next step

So, my parents are one of those who assumes that university degree is the solution of every problem so more than 2/3 of my life was spend only being focused on university.

But in the end, after graduation I couldn't find any related jobs and became a receptionist on thebnight shift of a hotel, which isn't quite satisfying to me.

Nowadays my parents started suggesting that, it was my major that wasn't good enough and I have to go and study another major from the beginning so that in 4-6 years you'd have better situation.

But I know that studying again isn't my solution, it feels like I'm just running around in circles with these.

But I also can't see my next step in life and my therapist suggests, it's because I don't have any visions for my future, nor anything that holds a value more than money in my heart, you may call it a goal, aim, God's plan or whatever you like.

He suggests that's why I feel stuck, unmotivated and unable to manage my energy to be consistent in my life.

But the problem is that I have no idea how I should find this in my life, it can't be just by trial and error, I mean I don't possibly have enough time to experience everything before I realize which one is my thing.

I'd appreciate any suggestion on how can I find that "reason" on my life, also I'm open to any resources suggestion, anything that might help including books, podcasts, documentaries, etc I'll give it a chance.
