It takes time to find something you like and you shouldn't be afraid to experiment and leave a comfortable role if you're not happy.
I personally went to school for Electrical Engineering and worked in the industry for quite a while but hated it because the roles were largely individual contributor sort of roles where you worked mostly alone even though you part of large project teams. Didn't suit me as I'm very much a social, people person.
Worked in that industry for 6 years after post-secondary graduation, moving into management roles and finally found my calling now in consulting, which has nothing to do with my engineering background (but it helps).
My role is now all about relationship building / repairing with the clients and selling (of course) work that helps our clients with their issues and bringing fresh ideas to the table.
Don't be afraid to pursue something new if you're unhappy and eventually, you'll find something that makes you happy to go into work.
