Not sure what my next step should be, second bachelors/masters/phd?

I’m a junior about to enter my senior year and graduate with a degree in Information Technology and a minor in Environmental Business and Economics. I didn’t know what I really wanted to do my first few years of college so I picked a major that would look good on a resume and my minor was what actually interested me. However, I’m here going to start my senior year, realizing I don’t want to work for some company in the IT department. I want to do something productive and meaningful, perhaps research or something of the like, (I’m starting a research position in the fall to see if this is something I’d enjoy). I have strong interests in economics, agriculture, the environment, and spatial data analysis. If I were to narrow it down to actual majors and I could do it over, I would have made my minor my major and done a second major perhaps in microbiology or food science. I’m not sure if I should change my major now and stay longer to complete a degree that satisfies me, or should I look into graduate programs that interest me? Should I do neither because I don’t have a particular field I want right now? I’m afraid if I head straight into the workforce I’ll never go back to school or won’t have time to go back. I’m open to going to school and working, I’m just really lost at to what steps I should take next.
