Continue until you find another job so you won't be financially set back. That way nothing financially will fall apart in your life.

But do you have enough reason to back yourself in the case you doubt your decision of quitting in the future?

In the same situation I would ask myself, is this job helping me get closer to my dream career? Is it providing me experience that I can use to ascertain a better job or admittance to a school?
If the answer is no, then I'd myself why am I at this job? What are the pros of keeping this job other than that it pays the bills?
If the job is not interesting, is not giving me the experience I need, and I'm always dreading going to work then I would search for another job.
I would always wait until I have another job lined up before quitting though.

It's important to really think about any big decision before you go through with it, including whether you would like to continue your job or not. Happiness with your job affects more than just your work life, it affects your social and emotional health as well. But it's also important to take into account your finances and whether you can afford to leave your job or ensure that you have another job lined up once you leave your current one. Or perhaps you have savings and can afford to take a break and kind of search for a job that you might enjoy more. I always want to strive for balanced happiness in my life, but I also want to do so in an intelligent manner and not jump into any decisions that I might later regret. In any case, this isn't something that anyone but yourself can truly answer for you, since it's a very personal matter and can affect your life in ways that others may not be aware of.

I think if you are in a position where you can go and find something else that you should. I am of the belief people should try to have as many new experiences as they can. Trying different jobs and fields can be exciting. If you are unhappy at a job it can affect other things in your life and rob you of your joy. Of course, you are not always able to change jobs.

See if you can talk to the people you work for and work out a plan that makes working there good for you. Find the reason you dislike work. If it is because of struggles in your personal life you may need a break from work and see if you like it better when your issues are resolved. If you find the reason you dislike work is because of something mandatory your work involves, try and find a new job. Communication with your employer is key in this situation.

I'm sorry to hear that you dislike your job now. Unfortunately it would not be helpful for me to make the decision for you. It is your life and there are many more decisions to come so get in the habit of making your own decisions and accepting responsibility for them.
There are 2 forces in decisions like this: pushing forces and pulling forces. Commonly, pushing forces spark a decision like this; horrible treatment, disrespect, over-work, etc.
However, I encourage you to forget about work for a moment and ask yourself about what you want from your life on a daily basis, soon and in the foreseeable future. Understand what you love and what you dislike. Write it all down. Take all this knowledge and envision what you need to do to make it a reality.
Now ask and answer these questions yourself:
Hhow does staying or quitting line up with this ideal state of life? Is there any way your employers can help if you stay? Can you plan your exit and line something up better before you actually leave?
These are the pulling forces; the best way to leave. However, do not ignore the pushing forces.
