I'm self-employed. People call me and tell me all their computer problems then I give them advice or go to their houses and offices to fix their problems. I'm not getting rich doing it, but it is great to do something where I see the direct results of helping people.
I also do a lot of volunteer work for our local bird-watching club. I lead several field trips each year, mostly directed at beginning birders because I enjoy helping people to learn about birds and the environment around them. I generally lead a walk for our county parks system each year and sometimes I do them for various community groups as well. And I edit the club newsletter which I try to make informative and educational.
For what it is worth, I don't think it is particularly sad that you are still questioning what you want to be when you grow up. I think people who stop asking that are the ones who often get stuck in a rut where they just keep doing what they're doing without growing and changing.
