    I think you first need to figure out what you enjoy doing. Before working in IT, I had several years of Sales experience, but it didn't mean that that's what I wanted to do...

    Dude, I'm not trying to push you away from IT, but if you can confidently say none of those hold any interest for you, you should really look at a different career.

    If project management interests you go that way. You could even look into PMP certification and work as a project manager for an IT company. If you don't like IT then I definitely wouldn't stay in it. Find something else you enjoy. At least if you find something you enjoy you will love your work.

    I'm going to have to agree with the other posters here - if you're not interested in any of those areas, then it's probably best to pick another specialization or another field.

    Maybe you should look into CEH and do something like pen testing.
