It’s okay to not know what to do even at the age of 28, you’re okay. You will figure this out.
A few things you could try is maybe researching on a few fields you have interests in. There is no definite solution until you try. The more you research the more it becomes clearer as to what you want to do. Of course, you could always speak to close friends or someone you look up to, to guide you. Hope things work out for you. Good luck!
There are quite a few reliable tests that can help you decide upon a career based on your interests and skills. It may be a good idea to contact a careers advisor and see what is available that you enjoy doing and are qualified for. Below is a link to one I have used but may not be suitable globally.

Try to find resources that will allow you to learn more about different career paths! Usually looking at different professions on LinkedIn and other websites helps quite a bit, as well as university websites. A lot of college websites have internship and job opportunities for their students and it’s definitely helpful to look at those. 28 is not too old to find out about your potential career! Try to find subjects and things that interest you and take courses on places like Udemy and Edx! It’ll help you learn more about subjects that interest you, and professions in those fields!
