Yes, but not too quickly. You should enjoy what you do in the perspective that you feel like you are learning or accomplishing something. If this is not the case for you, then you need to plan out how you will make the transformation from one job to another. Do not just quit because it is no fun.

Keep in mind that the pasture is always greener on the other side. Most people who have jobs they hate are stuck in that kind of middling work - exchanging their current job for another isn't necessarily going to guarantee a change for the better. If you're a cashier at Walmarts, guess what, the cashier position at Stop N Shop isn't going to be much better.
The better jobs that you want - with more perks, more prestige (albeit more stress) - usually go only to those with the right degrees and educational background.
Here is my recommendation: make your current workplace better by improving the work conditions by your attitude, by your professionalism. At the same time, plan for the next generation - make sure your children are given all that they can be given in terms of education opportunities. If you want a role model, look at the Asian American community.

It depends. Sometimes you need to keep a job that does not seem rewarding and turn it into one that you are proud of...Do what you can to learn more, do more to be more additive to others. Look at the pros and cons. If you just can not find a way to make it better then have another job lined up before you quit. You may even find in the interviewing process that your job is not so bad!

What are your circumstances? Do you have kids to support? Is there a comparable job with close to equal pay for you to switch to? Are you just starting a career and have nothing to keep you from exporing other options? Do you have benefits, health insurance has a waiting period, and switching jobs could leave you uncovered. It's most important to be happy, but will you be happy at the next job, and is it worth risking the change?

Yes, you may have to go one step back to take two steps forward, but finding a job that you enjoy will pay benefits in the long run.

Yes! If you don't like your job then you're not going to be very happy and that's going to reflect in your job performance. And that will also affect your pay rate. Get into a job you love will have a positive affect on everything in your life.

Most definitely. We spend more waking hours at our work place than any place else. Why be miserable the majority of the day. But, have another job before you quit the old one no need to create a new set of problems.

Most definitely, why waste your life doing something you don't enjoy, always remember money isn't everything. As long as you have enough money to manage and are prepared not to always " want " then it's far more rewarding to have a job you are happy in.

Absolutely! You should at the very least get some happiness and enjoyment from a place you spend so much time at. Aside from that, anthing you enjoy, you do much better at and will succeed where others will fail.

Well, it depends. If I find a better than the one I had, I will change, even if I enjoy it.
