I'd suggest going to your local community college or testing center and take every aptitude test you can take, regardles of if it applies to you or not. I did that many years ago and it was just a way to get me thinking about what I wanted to do with my life. The questions made me think about priorities, likes, dislikes, and about goals in general. I thought the results of the test were pretty funny (I'd never become what they suggested), but the process itself was invaluable.
Related to computers though... games!!! Good graphic designers, people who can program AI, sound / music development, and everything else related to games are hot now.

Hello!
Where in the world are you? I've had similar problems but have found that there are plenty of agencies and organisations that can help you and find work that is suited to you! There are loads of things that paras and quads can still do...it may be a bit more difficult for us to find it but keep pereservering and you'll get there!
