Just Do Something

I highly recommend this book: Just Do Something by Kevin DeYoung.

The book's premise is that instead of asking God for His specific will in whether or not you should be a doctor or lawyer or janitor or mechanic or pastor or and the list goes on, you should ask God how you can be His follower, do His work, become more holy, more like Christ in the context of your vocation, whatever it may be that you choose to do.

DeYoung goes on to say in the book (paraphrasing): God is not this "sneaky God" who has a specific will for you, but won't let you find it out and likes to watch you agonize over finding out what His will is. Instead, He is a God who cares immensely for you, provides abundantly for you, and is waiting for you to Just Do Something in His Kingdom. There's lots of work to be done - so get on with it!
