If you enroll and finish most schools have career guidance for free.

JMHO but I would try to specialize.

Eg go in the direction of travel and work as a travel agent.

Go in the direction of real estate and work as a real estate agent.

Go in the direction of finance and work as a financial advisor.

Go in the direction of researching individuals and work for (or as) a private investigator.

Go in the direction of weddings, and work as a wedding planner.

Go in the direction of more day-to-day stuff, and work as a columnist or blogger (eg a blog sharing cheap activities with kids in XYZ area) or content writer.

Go in the direction of academia, and work as a research assistant.

Basically there are a lot of jobs out there that involve fact-finding plus one other thing. The question is, which "one other thing" is most doable for you? Writing articles? Working with numbers? Dealing with clients? Phone calls/admin type work? etc...

OK, and another question, what kind of money are you hoping to make, because there's a real difference in salaries here.

Oh and marketing research! That's a big one. Another that involves a certain amount of writing, but you wouldn't be a writer-writer, and the salary is decent.
