To clarify: I'm obviously going to stay at a job if it pays like 10 times what I normally make. Let's assume the job just pays average, and the position is just particularly awful even compared to similar ones.

Of course I guess "hating" a job can take many forms... Being in a dead-end job, having toxic managers/coworkers, bad location, etc...

Going with the word "hate" being a strong one for me... unemployed definitely. If there are not other circumstances and other ways to change station in meantime to put myself in something so negative will be avoided.

I'd take the job, if I know it will not be forever, just a short time. Not enough money to be unemployed, that is terrifying.

If money was not an issue? I can certainly stay busy without paid employment. I work for money, that is the whole reason I have a job.

That's so sweet, but most of us stay in jobs that we hate our entire adult lives.

Right? Obviously unemployed lol but there bills to pay and people to feed

I mean, its either shitty job, or shoplifting (and dealing with eviction lawsuits, which gives you like a few months at best).
