Medicine, Marine Biology, Physics, Chemistry? What should I do with my life?

I'm 24 years old and don't know what to do with my life. I have two degrees. The first one is in Journalism and I am finishing my second degree in Psychology. I like Psychology but I am more interested in the statistics part - the more factual part. I feel that Psychology is quite up in the air, that it's not specifically problem solving - it is more an overview of theories towards human behaviour.

I thought of doing medicine because it's hands on, practical, challenging, varied, good job prospects (in Australia) and you work with a variety of people as well as contributing towards a community.

I thought of studying marine biology because I love the ocean and I am really interested in the environment.

I thought about my personal interests. I have a variety of interests including performance - acting and music. I also have been really interested in physics (quantum physics, Einstein theories etc) and how they combine with philosophy. I am interested in astronomy too.

I never really did Chemistry or Biology at school so have no huge background except for TEE Human Biology however that was many years ago.

I have no idea what to do with my life.

I have also taken a year and travelled through Asia, India, Nepal, have visited many countries.

I'm afraid I will never come to something that is suitable for me. I am intelligent and when I put my mind to something I can excel in it. The problem is I don't know what to do.
