In the end it comes down to taking action. You need to outline your interests, evaluate career prospects and start making headway into a new career. It sounds easy but is a very difficult thing to do. I'm 32 and have been going through with what you described for over 3 years now.
I agree with Keith, try different things to see what you like. Take classes, volunteer, take a leave of absence from work, etc. You could be burned out and just need a new hobby or change of scenery.
Good luck
