Bear in mind the difference between community college and university. Community college is for the most part basically job training. Well, career training, anyway. It depends on the program, but quite often people are ready to work in their field with little or no training required after college.
Look at college programs of this kind as learning a trade...but in a broader sense.
University is another matter.
Have a look at what colleges offer and see if there is anything related to your interests. But be sure to look at job prospects/future growth beforehand. Do your research in the field that interests you.
If you aren't sure, most colleges offer a general arts & science option, which is good for searching and trying to see what interests you without committing yourself to something quite yet. Transferring into a formal program from there is usually easy.
Other than that, go to a job centre and take one or two of those skills/interest tests and see what sticks out. From that, have a look at jobs that relate to your outcome.
Combine the two: college and vocational testing. The two often go hand in hand.
