You should apply for another job maybe you'll like better, but keep the hated job for a Plan B until you get your good job.

That's actually a trick question. Why you will ask! Well my friend, if really like really 'hated' your job you would have quit, and If you are still thinking then in all likelihood there is some thing that you maybe and just maybe like about the job. So worth exploring that . something like a cost benefit analysis. What is the cost to me when I work in this job and what is the benefit for example may be you don't like the working conditions but you have made some good friends at work or may be you don't like the work but the pay is good.. so something like that..

no you shouldn't actually, but if you don't have another chance like working in a job that you really love, you should stay because there's nothing like lose your job and go worse everyday, i experienced this by myself.

Absolutely not. Spending 40 hours a week at a place that brings you negative thoughts is not healthy.

It may take a while, but job hunting will eventually find you alternative options. So since there's no harm in looking around, go ahead! The real question you should ask yourself is - why, or what is it about this job that I hate? Try not to carry any bad habits or baggage into your next opportunity.

No, you shouldn't stay at the job you hate, but sometimes it is a necessary thing to do while you figure out your next step and start moving in the direction of finding the one that you will enjoy. The key here is to understand why you are hating the job, really examine your own needs and values, give it a good, hard look. Now, how can you use that information to define the job that you would actually love?

That's up to you. What does your heart tell you. Do you feel there's any way of improving your work situation. Or do you feel it's time to try something else. It's a big decision and one you should speak to family about.

No, but you should't quit immediately also. Find another job you like and then only leave the one you hate

What's in it for you? Is the money good? Are the people nice? Is the work enjoyable? Are there good opportunities to move on to better things? Is the daily journey bearable? If your answer to those is a resounding yes then you're probably in the 1% of the population who feel that way. But if you don't feel like that then the best thing to work out is how you'd feel if you suddenly, for whatever reason, couldn't do that job. If the answer to that is; 'jump for joy with endless happiness and relief' then maybe it's time to look around. We all do a job at some point in our lives that we loathe, just remember that life is a bit too short to spend 8 hrs a day, 5 days a week doing something you absolutely detest.

Life is too short to be doing something you hate. I've worked in areas where I felt miserable and honestly there is not enough money that would make me go back there.
