Is it bad to keep going from Job to job because I cant find what I want to do?

I've had 3 different jobs this year and it's only April. I try out a job and I'll absolutely hate it. Is that just me being picky, wanting to enjoy the job I have? Or should I just suck it up and hate it like everyone else? Ive never been someone who will just work to make money. I'll do what I have to but to an extent. I want to at least somewhat enjoy what I'm doing.

@DarkenedSoul thank you. I’ll have to find one soon. And what really sucks is that I’m really starting to realize that I actually really enjoyed my old job. I enjoyed my coworkers, the shift, and I worked with my sister. I only left because I wasn’t getting more hours. I already tried going back but they wouldn’t take me so I just have to find something similar and just as enjoyable I guess.

Find something you can tolerate so you can survive until you can find or figure out something you enjoy. On the flip side if you cant find something you enjoy, try to find someone you enjoy being with (if not have that already) or stuff to do outside of work that is only possible with money you earn from work.

Few people truly enjoy work.

at your age its fine, explore , try out 20 different jobs if you want, its the right time to do so and it gives you some life experience. but I would suggest sticking with each job long enough to have learned the job well and really get a taste of it so that you know you're moving on to find better and nor just quitting when the going get tough.

I've been through 5 jobs in the past 6 months. They've all been temporary warehouse jobs paying $10-11 an hour. At my age I'm just sick of temporary work and am ready to finish school and start my career.

No harm in exploring for some more time at your age.

Bests!

🤔....It's no fun to work at a job you don't enjoy doing.
