The various jobs you listed don't sound like you've done a lot of climbing rank-wise, it sounds like you've bounced around in different areas of specialty. Programmer, sys admin, tech support... most of the companies I've worked for, these aren't rungs, they're completely separate ladders.
If you're sure that Management (which would actually distance you from all of the above) is really what you want to do, try out a management position within a specialized area, e.g. Senior Programmer at a large company, Customer Support Manager, Lead Systems Engineer. Most importantly, figure out what type of work you like to and whether you want to get involved with management at all.
