I have no idea what career to pursue? Any advice?

I have a pretty broad (but borderline useless) skill set, but I don't know if any of it is really going to help me. I've been told I'm a good musician, and I'm a pretty technical self-taught multi-instrumentalist. I have also taught a few people how to play, but I don't know if a career in music is a smart choice. I thought about being a teacher, music journalist or an instrument shop owner, but I'm not very sure how to get into those fields of work. And I don't want to monetize my music because I don't like that idea, and I don't think I could make it anyway.

I have some culinary skills, but nothing that can get me past working at a Diner or cooking for my family. Occasionally, I do like to try my hand at woodwork; I once turned a dresser into a wall unit. Also, I'm a pretty organized person (I theorize that I may have OCD) my mom once suggested that I do something in the area of organization. I thought about being a fire-fighter before, but I'm not sure if I can go through that.

Mainly, I want to do something where I can give back, and still make a living, but it has to be something I can enjoy. And I don't really want to do just one thing with my life, I want a career that can help me pursue my hobbies.

Basically, I want a solid base that can help me branch off into my other interest as well.
