From where should I start? Prioritizing getting a job or do something that you really liked?

To give some brief context, I started in cyber less than a year ago and start learning the basics and in do the CompTIA Security+, after this a choice came to me, since I'm learning on my own I needed a new path to focus on, so I decided to focus on SOC Analyst, learning to build SIEM labs, interpretation alerts, logs, creating custom rules, also created some IDS labs, VLAN labs, an so on, but I make this choice based on the 'market' since this it was the supposed role every organization was locking for.

The problem is this, I don't really like much this field. To be honest the three major specialization that I would like to deep in are Pentesting, Reverse Engineering, and Digital Forensic.

My question is, should I keep focus on SOC until I hit a job? Or should just do the things I like more? And can you give me advice on how to approach this three fields? Since the all three are different's.
