What does this mean to you? Are you seeing these co-workers as failures? Do you feel they have wasted their life? Do you not respect them because they have worked at the same place for so long? Are they uneducated? Isolate why you don't want to be like them.
Having been there for 4 years, is there an older person you can talk to? Most older people are happy to share their wisdom and thoughts on life with the younger generation. It can even be a simple, breezy question thrown out at lunch, or a break, "If you could go back in time, what would you do different in life?" Something to that effect. There is a lot to learn from the regrets of those who have already lived that time in their life.
If someone came up to you today and asked you, "You can have any job on the planet, with the appropriate salary, what job would you like?" What would you answer? On site archaeologist? Chef? Long shore man? Professor of English? Music producer? Growing plants and flowers?
Think what will make you happy to get up every day and go do. Then research how to make it happen.
