My first job was working in a hospital and I did it for several years. I had done every job in the hospital from security to the cafeteria work and when I worked every job available in the hospital and hated each one I looked for something else. Got a job working retail and I did everything there from unloading trucks to security to maintenance to sales and hated every job there so I got an office job. You can see where this is going. Currently I work at a bar and don't plan on working there long. How can I cope with hating work. I tried drinking but that didn't work out so well.

I have hated every job I have ever had. How can I cope with it?

Step back and figure out what you enjoy. Once you figure that out, figure out what jobs are available that line up to that. Then figure out what skills you need to get that type of job.
that's because u re on the bottom and have no prospects with your career. i bet if u were working in a hospital as a doctor and in retail as a store manager and an office job as a ceo or at least a secretary of a ceo u would love your work. i was working an office job as a ceo's assistant. what was there not to like? u dress nice, u are among of nice people, u go to nice places. i loved it
I find it is the people I work with rather than the work involved that makes or breaks a job. If I like the people I'm around and make friends with them, I can tolerate a pretty crappy job well. Conversely, if I'm surrounded by people that make me want to beat my head against a brick wall, it doesn't matter what the job is, I am still miserable.
Since you've tried different occupations and haven't found a good fit, start looking at people and company culture, and see if you can find a place that is more suitable to you.
Its a job, not a party. They pay you to do work, no one "loves" going to their job more then staying home.
What, exactly, do you hate about them? Is it simply that you have to do work to have money? Well, eff all we can do about that. Given that you hate all jobs, it seems that the actual work does not matter, you hate any work. The fault is with you, not with reality. I would suggest figuring out what you like doing, and get a job doing that, but I doubt there is such a thing.
Welcome to adulthood! Work wasn't meant to be fun--that's why it's called work. Your best bet would be to do some thinking about what you enjoy, and what you would love to spend your time doing. Then find work doing that. Love to fish? You could sell fishing supplies. Love football? Try becoming a coach. Love relaxing in the sun? Maybe you could be a travel advisor. You get the idea.
You may not find your ideal job advertised, but once you know what you want, start knocking on doors and talking to people in the field about possible jobs.
So instead of doing something positive like going to a trade school, you choose to run away and hide in something like drinking. Many of us never cared for the jobs we have, that’s life. We strive to do the best at whatever job we accept, and have the idea that we work to live, not live to work. Try accomplishing things outside of work, and accept the fact that work is a means to do that.
You mean its called work instead of play for a reason?
