Where is Anthony Robbins when you need him
Life is what you make of it. Don't feel you have to do something just because everyone else is doing it. The majority of people if they were perfectly honest would love to significantly change things about their current lives. I find myself getting depressed about society and the way things are but we have to realise that we are so lucky to be in a situation where we can change virtually anything we do. If I am fed up with my job, I just don't turn up!!! It's not the end of the world and life will go on. Now i'm not saying that we should all just quit our jobs, just that if you want things to change, YOU are the person that has to change it. It's all about stepping out of our comfort zones and making tough decisions.
It's good that you've had these thoughts and I think it shows you want to live a different life to 'the crowd'. Now all you need to do is figure out what exactly it is that you want and then get down to figuring out how to get it.
