If you have no idea what you want to do with your life, you have no business in graduate school.

OK, that’s somewhat harsh, but it’s not really untrue. Graduate school is advanced-level training in a very specific field or subfield, and if you undertake a program, complete it and then realize you have no interest in working with that field… well, you’ve just wasted a whole bunch of time, money and opportunities forgone.
