My own experience and as i've seen with others, is asking a question of "what are you reading for fun / what magazines are you buying?". An example, i used to have a flatmate that work day-job as software tester, but, the funny thing is, he never read anything about technology. All he read is poker. News, tricks, techniques. All are pokers. It's so apparent that the passion for poker draw him from other things. However, while others can see it, from my own personal experience, i found it's not easy to convince yourself regarding what you want. I was lucky that i have exploited almost majority of the choices that i can get my hands on when i was 20 (and trying to figure out the same question). In a big divisions, i tried business, network-marketing, share, property and employment. But, always found life is the most interesting in business. Combine with the first point, i always found myself reading something techy whether it's magazine, google reader (and, i seriously don't mind with Sedgewick's algorithms books for bedside reading) clearly makes me realize that something about business + technology is what i really want. That's why i do what i am doing, tech-business. :) But, yes, agree that you need to figure out this question and need to be convinced heartily. Keep trying until you find it out. Good luck!
