I agree with Whirls, don't jump ship. I don't envy you having a boring job but if it's well paid and fairly safe stay there. You may not realise it but you're probably in the best position you could be in at the moment.
Get the PPL and slowly build your hours with the emphasis on quality and pleasure. Lots of people rush to build up hours which really removes the pleasure from flying. Make sure you keep your hour building challenging! It exercises the mind and builds you a great repertoire of experience. Penetrate MATS, cross the channel, enter controlled airspace etc.
Good luck and have fun.
