Where Can I Search For a Career if I Don't Yet Have a Certain Interest?

I'm close to turning 23, no GED and working at a stressful check cashing store. Most of my life I've worked these petty, tired, stressful jobs that unappreciate and pay you pennies. I wanted to grow up so fast and leave home that all these years I've been consumed in nothing but Work, Work, Work. I have finally HAD IT! I want a CAREER! I want something to enjoy, something that can pay me well and to have growth. I'm very much jealous of my best friend that works in medical, gets paid wonderfully (she flaunts her money at me a lot) and can take any day or a whole week to soak in the sun all day with no regrets (metaphor)... Biggest problem you ask? ... I'm very indecisive and don't know what to look into. Medical I am not considering because I am very queasy =( (already had thought of that). So besides that, suggestions or links that can help me quiz or choose a career that would fit my interest. Please & Thank You.... P.S, I know I have to obtain my GED first, I just want suggestions on just what to look forward to.
