How to pick a new career?

[patmahe]

Long story short, after 6 years in IT I've decided its not for me. I have very little interest in it and to be honest only really studied it as I was unsure about what I wanted to do and it seemed a safe stable option at the time.

But now my dilema is what do I go into, how do I begin to decide what my new career should be. What are the first steps? I'm fearful of making a wrong choice again so any advice is appreciated.
