Slugger,
I think not liking your job is a prerequisite for every field out there. Don't get discouraged if you want to do this. I didn't know squat about planes at 16 other than what they looked like flying over my house and I wasn't lucky enough to have the means to take lessons at that age.
Use it to your advantage. See if you can get a job at your FBO fueling or maybe working the desk. Hang out on days off, get to know the others around the airport. Chances are there are a few airline pilots there who can give you lots of insight too.
