I might suggest a different diagnosis to your lack of interest: it's not that you don't care about software, it's that you don't care about the business you're in. Software, to me, is a set of tools. Some are super fun to use, and I find I'm getting better at the skill of using them, and can help tutor others on the finer points in their use. I do enjoy that. But the tools themselves are merely the means to an end, when it comes to what makes me passionate about my job. I work in a business that I'm really excited about (operations management software for warehouses and transportation/delivery at a large e-commerce company). I love it. I love the big picture of what's being done. I love the customers. I really love flying to places to meet the customers, empathizing with them, learning their needs and desires, and then solving their problems and making their lives easier. That's why I get excited about my job, what gets me out of bed in the morning. The software? That's a toolbox I use to achieve my goals. Fun tools, I admit, and I strive to master them- but they're just the tools. So my advice to you is very simple: go find a business where you care about the customers. Then practice your skill with your tools by helping those customers. If that doesn't make you love your job, well, there's always money in trade skills like welding.
