Since you sound like a relatively recent college grad one thing you can do is reach out to Career Services at your alma mater to see if any counseling is still available to you. At many colleges recent grads are eligible for a period of time to free or low-cost counseling. It may be via Zoom if you're not in the area, sometimes they also have reciprocity agreements with other colleges.
There is also a book that's been around for decades now titled "What Color is Your Parachute?" with updates every few years. I suggest you get a copy from the library. The book is perfect for the liberal-arts graduate like yourself who is trying to figure out how to make their way. A major theme, at least when I read it many years ago, is informational interviewing to find out how to enter a specific area.
I'd also add to not get discouraged. This isn't something you're likely to figure out in a few days or few weeks, but if you take a longer view then you can make strides towards identifying area(s) you'd like to pursue, figure out how people get started, and take a few steps on the ladder.
