What exactly about your field of work are you dreading? I work in the field also, but don't have as much experience under my belt. Like you, I got into it in highschool and have been in the field ever since (in the field for about ~5 yrs)
I think the best part of being able to work on cars is being able to deliver a service to a happy customer, to be able to fix something someone else couldn't. To me, that's satisfying enough alone. I think as a tech you have to take pride in your work. Being a tech also brings new things all the time. Different cars with different problems. It mixes it up, changes pace, and you're always learning. Once you stop being curious, I'd imagine it'd get old real quick.
That being said, I don't see myself fixing cars forever. I see it as building myself as a person to always improve. I do want to stay in the industry, and as a technician it opens up a lot of paths for different things. if fixing cars isnt your thing anymore, you can always branch out into the advising side of things with service/parts and managing
I hope I was of some help.
