A job is a job at the end of the day, whether it's a 'career' or not. You go to it first thing in the morning, you come home at the end of the day. Even if it's the job you've always dreamed of, there's going to be parts of it you hate, probably just as many parts you hate as parts you love. And there will always be days when you think 'why the hell am I doing this?'
I'd agree with the other posters, fix on something you enjoy and work towards a career that's at least somehow related. I always enjoyed writing... journalism seemed an obvious route to take. Turns out, it's not exactly what I hoped it would be, so I'm rethinking. Do I regret my time as a hack? Nope. I'm not ruling out coming back to it in a freelance capacity either.
Any job has the capacity to teach you about yourself.
