I had a very interesting job with decent income 2 months ago with a lot of free time in hands and good time with colleges.But I wasn't sure if I would have a brilliant career by doing that for long.Then I found this current job will perhaps do me good with my future career,but my income is shrunk and my life is less fun, less free time and more serious, also lost a lot of chance hanging out with my friends. Should I give up this job and go back to my previous work?

Why don't you get your old job back and during your free time search for the job you really want go for an interview then if it works quit your old job and start your new one.

Yes, been there done that.
The trick is to stick it out long enough for it to have an impact on your resume. You are there because you have a goal that you want to make happen. It is like crossing the desert, eventually you will make it to the oasis.
Learn as much as you can in this current position. I would say 6 months is the minimum and 1 year is ideal. Then seek a new career related position.
Generally if you stay doing an easy job your friends either get better jobs and become too busy to meet you often you then end up getting no where and being bitter and not a lot of fun to hang around with.
No matter how good things are now, the world changes and you have to be changing too.
Good luck, if you keep the goal in mind you can put up with the current problems and achieve success.

Hmm I have to say from experience in working within a BLue chip company, small companies and owning my own business. The "It's going to be worth it in the future" or "But look at the potential" are classical con tricks.
When this utopia of success never materialises, the company gets sold and stripped apart by unscrupulous investors or liquidated you will be lucky to get an apology.
If you can find a job you truly enjoy I wouldn't let that go. Enjoy your life now cos you never know whats round the corner. Could be a 3 tonne bus or a lottery win maybe nothing.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush...

Quit and go back to your old job. You can loose your currrent job on your CV. Go back earn more money and enjoy life. In time you can look for other opportunities. Dont worry about making a wrong decision , we all do it , it is how we learn and progress

remember that quitting is never the answer once you quit once it will be easier after that.
life is not always fair learn to live with it. Or you can also find a new job and be proper and give a 2 week notice. Always be professional
