Kaedyn,
Whatever your age and whatever your career profile thus far, in aviation terms you're a novice (wanabee is the preferred term on this forum, but I don't like it so I don't use it). I've been in aviation 33 years (6 more than you've been alive) and I've also suceeded in IT and I am currently associated with a retail company. I have heard all these industries slagged off many hundreds of times and for the same reasons. My only advice to you is not expect a better quality of working life in aviation that you have now, because you may well be in for shock.
On a more practical note (and you may have done this already so I apologise if I am telling you to suck eggs) don't make any career decisions until you have completed at least 2-3 hours of trial flying (preferably 5 hours) and checked that you are medically fit for aviation.
