The "precious snowflake" line isn't particularly helpful to people who are precious snowflakes.
I'll phrase it another way: In college, its so common its cliche to feel like you have to 'change the world' and 'do something that lights you on fire.' This kind of thing is encouraged by people like Steve Jobs, who did change the world by doing something he was passionate about. The vast majority of even people here on this forum aren't Steve Jobs. We've found our way by stumbling around until we came across something that worked. Once we found that 'thing,' we became passionate about it as we pursued it. But, for most, that was only after much trial and error slogging through boring and tedious grunt work.
So...pick a direction and go forth. Start with accounting. Find something about it that is interesting. (I'm pretty good with numbers myself. What gets me excited about them is that they tell a story of human passion and ingenuity. Make them tell that story, and they'll come alive for you.)
The difference between most people and entrepreneurs? During the process of slogging away, we stay aware of and take advantage of the hidden opportunity that's right in front of our noses. These opportunities will stay hidden, though, if you aren't pressing forward with something.
Another note about Steve Jobs: He started the grunt work/entrepreneurial process when he was very young, so by the time he founded Apple, he'd already become quite aware of his passions.
