Part of my work entails being a Career Advisor, and I am amazed at how many clients think they have to spend lots of money to re-assess their career and goals. Emphatically, NO - not only are there free resources out in the real world to help you, there are also many nominal-fee based agencies that can also assist you in your career assessment or re-assessment.

Of course, the first route you should take is to really have an honest talk to yourself (and no, this is not the only free route) about what you want to do, like to do, or think you'd like to do. Then do a bit of research on the Internet or networking within your circle of friends and/or co-workers - find out the name of someone who actually DOES what you are thinking of doing, or like to do.
