The most known proverb, love what you do. If you're doing the job which you don't like, please try to adapt the workstyle and love the work you do. If this is not at all possible, identify your passion / the job what you love and put efforts to get into it. Then do what you love.

Accepting a job that you don't like will do you no good in the long run. You will not be able to give your best at work. You may be good at your job, but you won't be able to be the best at it.
