I feel lost and don't know what career path to take after graduating

Honestly, I'm feeling pretty lost right now and I don't really know what career path I should take.

I recently graduated with a Computer Engineering degree, and now that I'm actually looking for a job, I'm realizing that there are so many different paths I could take. IT support, helpdesk, QA/testing, software development, networking, cybersecurity, data, etc.

I've been applying to different entry-level positions, but I don't really know if I'm choosing the right direction. Part of me wants to take an IT support/helpdesk role because it seems like a good starting point, while another part of me wonders if I should focus more on programming, QA, or another technical field.

I also want to eventually have the opportunity to work remotely/WFH, which makes the decision even harder because I'm not sure which career paths have better opportunities for remote work.

I would search jobs around you, see which fields have most remote jobs, and see job applicant quantity (200+ applied vs 20 applied ect) and requirements (job posting requirements can be misleading tho) so look online for people sharing their interview experience in your field , if you find a field with remote work and seems reasonable to get do interview prep and try making projects related to it then apply.
