The somewhat counterintuitive solution to this is to first figure out what interests you, learn a lot about it, and then go look for the organization out there that needs that particular skillset. Or as Venkatesh Rao put it [1]:

"First become a key, then go look for a lock."

Yes, there's risk in that, and no, there's no guarantee that whatever you specialize in will be useful to someone. But the advantage is that you're basically guaranteed to love your job, because you chose the job yourself and then just pitched a lot of corporations to see who was offering it. There's also a self-respect boost to being in the driver's seat and thinking of your career in terms of which organization gets to be lucky enough to have you work for them.
