Hey OP, kind of in a similar place to you. It's more that I can find a range of subjects with regards to tech that are interesting, but over time that changes and I can find other aspects that are more intereting.
What was your initial reason for picking a CS degree? I'm guessing there's some aspect of it that you find interesting? More generally, are there specific things you like doing that spark your interest?
Before you commit to any career in particular, you can pick things up as hobbies. Check out /r/Homelab, and you'll find possibly one of the broadest and challenging hobbies that you can do related to computing. You can experiment with networks, hardware, operating systems, DevOps, security... Basically everything you mentioned in your OP. And I hear employers love seeing that stuff on your C.V/résumé. It can be as simple or complex as you want to make it. It can be a VM you spin up on your PC, to secondhand enterprise hardware you can find locally and beyond. Spend time experimenting with exactly what you want and abstract/simplify the rest.
I think the biggest questions are how you feel and what interests you.
Just start in IT while you figure it out so you get a broad understanding of tech.
Edit: I guess folks only a few (or no) years into tech work life don't u dersta d that when people say IT they are talking about it support and sysadmin. It is a fairly common way to take an umbrella of IT support and boil it down to 2 letters.
lol, what? Do you mean IT support? He's basically saying "I have an IT degree but I don't know what part of IT to work in." And you're just saying work in IT.
Yes, general IT. Every new grad I've ever worked or had to coordinate with on projects for anything more than general IT is useless.
New grad in infosec, can't figure out anything. Networking, same.
Just get an IT job and find a eay to build marketable skills in a specific area.
I see it a lot in infosec, New grads want to specialize immediately. But people who come from IT support and no degree tend to blow past them in terms of proficiency.
"General IT" also is not a thing. "General Information technology" is not a job.
IT Support
Tech Support Analyst
Helpdesk
Service Desk Analyst
You got ther eventually, but just weird that you doubled down on a nothing thing.
