In my experience it is best to do what you like as often as you can. Whether it is work or free time I feel better when I like what I do.

If you don't like your job before you quit ask yourself if it something you are able to change e.g is it the hours? if so try seeing if you are able to change that if so give it ago and see if changes your opinion. If you still don't like your job try searching for something you will enjoy!

Not liking your job anymore suggests you did like it to start with. Think about what has changed in the role that you don't like? Has the role changed or has your ambitions? Make a list of what makes you happy in the job against what you don't like in the job. If the pro's outweigh the cons then it's always time to look elsewhere, but never just ditch a job in the hope of finding something better. It plays havoc with financial commitments and looks bad on your CV.

In my opinion, you should continue with your work while you're looking for a new one that like you. And then you could leave your actual work.

It would be easier to continue doing your job and possibly start to look for another one while you have a job. I believe it is easier to find a job while you currently have one. Even though you do not like your job, keep in mind that you are learning and growing and gaining knowledge that will benefit you at your next job.

What depression is not is grief. Feeling very upset and in mourning after a loss is completely appropriate and even important in processing the loss. Feeling sadness after divorce, losing someone close to you, losing a job or having to move is very normal and does not require treatment. It is wise to talk to others and find support systems so that the sadness does not evolve into depression. However, if those feelings seem to happen a lot, and sadness or fear take over, they can impair your ability to function and to enjoy your life. This is what a true depression can do. If you are motivated to understand why and how to manage them better, then I highly recommend psychotherapy where you will learn the tools to better cope with the day-to-day struggles of life.

start looking for a new job that you'll like better, but don't quit before you find something else you never know you may change your mind.

The thing that I think about this, is that when you are working, you should love the job that you are doing and not be miserable when you come to work, you should come to work happy and leave happy! If you aren't happy, then it is up to you on what the next decision to make, personally, I would quit and find a job that really interests me!

I think whether one quits or continue's a Job is both an emotional and financial touching point. In the end I suppose it comes down to three factors. Can I survive the interval period between Jobs. Is my Happiness more Important than the Money, and what would I like to do If I leave this job?
