Enrolling in a course to learn some more advanced networking techniques could be beneficial. If not, and if you like the support role, you could work in a support or help desk system for a company. I think your general experience could even put you in a team leader-style role as well.

I also run a website that helps IT professionals improve their IT career. I hope it can help – you can see it at Complete IT Professional.
