I'm not one for self help books, but a lot of people I respect have recommended this book to me, since I am also young, listless, and having a career crisis. The first 100 pages are general job tips, but I just started the section that helps the reader define what they enjoy and how to focus that interest into employment search. Can't say if it will work, as I haven't finished it but it could help.
What Color Is Your Parachute?
I was in the same boat earlier this year. I highly recommend What Color Is Your Parachute (or the teen version). Not only does it tackle practical job-hunting/interviewing stuff, but it also helps you assess what your skills/interests/life goals are.
Talk to a counselor.
Think practically. College is about both expanding your mind, but more importantly, about giving you the skills you need to be a productive member of society. Join AIChE for a quarter and get a feel of "Chemical Engineering."
While Physics might be interesting, I see no reason to major in it other than for personal experience or niche jobs in research.
I reccommend you read this, or better yet, skim through it.
Physics and ChemE are distant enough that once you land a job, I doubt your other degree will matter at all (career wise).
I recommend you focus on one major and do it well and take your spare time to hammer down an internship or field related part time job rather than going balls to the walls school 24/7.
That's coming from a double. GL

Anytime I need to interview I bust out my copy of What Color is Your Parachute. It is an excellent guide to job hunting and giving interview tips.
