There are many jobs in most industries that only require a bach degree as the baseline education, with no preference for specialization.
You could still qualify for data science/data analytics jobs with just excel, and a bit of updating yourself online (eg Lynda) on R or python. It just depends on the learning curve you would be willing to put the effort in.
The main question is to find some areas you think you would be good in and try a few of those. Tailor your resume to a few different types, then adjust as you find out what you like/don't like. I have met some folks who were high school teachers that have turned into HR Training and Development Specialists, Meditators, and some who have worked as managers in government. In regards to jobs that work less with people, there is payroll and bookkeeping, although in some regions, you may need some certification/licensing (check your local postings to see), but generally those are considered easier to get into.
