Depends! How much do you need the job? How hard is it to get another? Is it something which could conceivably get better? Many people find it helpful to make lists of upsides and downsides when considering a change. Good luck to you!

The quick answerve is no. The insightful answer would be to understand why you dislike the current role and start making different decisions daily to improve your reality.

Job satisfaction is a necessity for most people. Aside from family or romantic relationships, it is a very high stress inducer. You have to determine what you can live with and how to stay healthy. If your hatred of your job jeopardizes your physical or mental health, you should quit whe you have other options available.

Should you? That question, in my humble opinion, is best answered from inside yourself. In my experiences, the only one who is able to decide if your current job, career, or vocation is something you see yourself doing in the future is yourself. Consider the financial, as well as social repercussions. If a job sucks and you need to save face as well as need the money... I would suggest keeping the job temporaily. If you have better options, perhaps utilize them. Nonetheless, look at the bigger picture. Is this job detrimental to your health, as well as well being? Yes/No gives you your own answer. I don't think that there is anyone out there able to answer such a question other than yourself. Do what you feel is correct, and justifiable.

Definitely not, not unless there is absolutely no back-up plan. A job should make you happy but should also be realistic, and achievable. It should also suit your ability and make you happy. If you are doing a job you hate, take some part time off, and use it to study - or work towards the job you Really want to do, if you cannot transition straight away.

I believe it depends on what it is you hate about the job. Then it's about figuring out if it's something that needs to change internally with you, something that needs to be addressed at the job and changed there, or if you must leave the job altogether because it is a toxic environment. One important thing to think about is if this is a pattern with jobs. You don't want to leave one job and then run into the same issue at another job. It may be that you need to increase your ability to be assertive or do an internal search to find a job that is actually satisfying your core needs. So, it all depends on you and your individual situation. Feel free to send me a message if you are in such a situation.

It is up to you. If you are unhappy you may want to consider trying to talk to a boss before you try to quit. Maybe they can fix something. But don't feel obligated to stay at a job to please people. Being happy comes first in my book.

It depends whether you really need the job to survive or not. If you have difficulty getting a shelter, then you should stay with the job. When you have time, seek for alternative jobs. If you have no problem to survive without the job for some time, it's good to change the job. Men only live once, it's not valuable to give all of yourself to something you dislike.

Staying in a job you hate can impact you negatively. If you have the opportunity to the leave the job for something you like more I would say go ahead and do it. If not, I would try to ride it out until your able to do that, especially if it would affect your majorly financially by not having a job. Remember, if you do a job you love you will never work a day in your life. Good luck to you!
