Life's Purpose

I have made the decision to put off graduate school this fall.  Many people my age are going straight there, but I can't justify spending that much money right now.

Now I know education is not a waste of money, I just don't know what I want to go to school for.  Interning and volunteering at different museums makes me realize that I enjoy museum work.  Volunteering at homeless shelters and other non-profits makes me realize how much I enjoy making a difference to people.  And history- I love history.  I want to make people excited about history like I am.

I graduate in May and I can start work in April, but I just don't know what to do.  I plan on working for the next year, hopefully doing something I like and something that is on the track of one of these three aspects.  I want to go to grad school, but only after I know exactly what I want to do.

Any thoughts?
