What is it in the tech industry you are passionate about? Do you like to solve complex problem through coding? Do you think technology can give you more leverage? The tech industry is huge, so my advice for you would be first to find what you really like about technology.
One more thing. Maybe you will find my comment contemptuous, but I promise you that it is not the case. I am just writing what I would like to have read when I was younger.
The thing is that I've always been fascinated with technology and what it can do. I love working with it and I love making it work. As far as I'm concerned, making something useful in Java or putting together a computer is just as much fun as watching a movie or eating food.
My problem with drive is the whole "do what you're told" thing. I've tried doing things for a friend, but I often get bored in the middle of it because I'm just doing what I'm told, and it's not of any particular value or interest to me. Things that I don't think are just really cool or things that don't benefit me personally are harder to work on... and I don't think I'm the only one with this problem.
But anyways, thanks for the link, it's a good read and definitely something to think about either way.
