There are two schools of thought. 1. Follow the money. 2. Follow your passion.
It's hard to know which is right (and I suspect both are), because my passion and the money are in the same place (tech).
Which means folk in tech (myself included) can successfully anecdote either branch.
Personally I probably land on the passion side, but I you're passionate about archaeology, well, good luck to you.
To the original question I say - be curious about everything. Try and learn from those around you. Try and add value outside of just support. Expand your support skills outside your specific job. Learn about the OS, or SQL, or coding.
You don't need to map out your niche just yet. Take some time to be a generalist with a wide experience. From there you'll likely find yourself gravitating to a field.
