Driving me Nuts.

My main prob is that I hate sitting indoors at my desk, in front of a low quality monitor with depressing fluorescent lights overhead, 8 or 9 hours a day, Mon - Fri. I just turned 23 and it feels like work is sucking my life away. Really don't want to be one of those people who dread going to work everyday, but do it all the same for the money, and before you know it, your life is almost over! Am I being too idealistic or flighty?? I trust that some of the folks on here might be able to offer me some advice, or at least give me some food for thought and welcome any constructive criticism you may throw my way.
