I think you gotta figure out why you
really hate your job.
i loved my ex-job. the colleagues were nice, i performed well and my work was recognised. however, after working for 5 years, i still felt dissatisfied and resigned. then i went for a short course, rejoined the workforce and felt the same dissatisfaction. i just don't like working for people.. you waste your life away slaving for bosses who are in many cases of less admirable characters. on top of that, i hate the politics, hypocrisy and fakeness when people act only to protect their self-interests rather than the company/client's. i thought to myself - i can surely put my life into better use !
so i decided to leave the working world and start out on my own account. it's a transition for me, because i have literally spent my whole adult life till now as an employee. the most difficult part is making the switch in mindset, having enough guts to go on this journey, and being confident in the value i can contribute. it can be daunting at times.
but then, if i had remained an employee, i would have spent similar nights turning in my bed feeling dissatisfied. so i might as well bear with the initial pangs of the birth of the
freedom agent (as mark joyner calls it) and keep in view the rewards when i successfully make the great crossing.
anyway, my point is that, if you ever want to make a decision as "drastic" as mine because you hate working, be clear about the why and be mentally prepared for the changes required in you.
