Today's job fair made me realize how much I do not want to work in HR...
What do I do with my life ? 😑 ☹

In a way, you're in a good position. These days, having a degree is proof that you're able to apply yourself, rather than meaning you have to follow a career path based on your degree subject. I know it's difficult to come to a decision about a career path, but what you choose doesn't have to be binding (and probably won't be). I work at a university and do know how difficult it can be. If you're not ready to decide, you could always defer the decision and study for a Masters or other postgraduate qualification.

I have a bachelor's in psychology. I actually thought of being a child psychologist someday. I plan to apply as a Guidance Counselor in our school while taking my masters but there aren't any opening as of yet. Also my mother wants me to get a job now. Like, now. AS IN RIGHT AFTER GRADUATION.

@NorthernLights: Having a degree in the sciences does give you more of an option to take a research path. I know what you mean, though. When I left university, my mum left it a couple of days and then came at me like a wild woman. I took a few months to have a break and assess my options and I think it was necessary. It was full of nagging, though. :)

The great thing about work is that you don't have to commit to a life-long occupation at 21. Even if you get a law or medical degree, there's a lot of things you can do in the general areas of law or medicine.
Everyone I know over 40 has had at least 2 occupations that were quite different from each other.
So, don't worry about getting pigeonholed.
