On the job experience is really important but spending eight months on a job you hate is a mistake. Give yourself a deadline for what is enough time to have given the job fair shake. in the meantime think about Plan B make sure you’re not locked out of going back to school in the fall if you need to.

One of my kids friends had a similar situation, took a summer internship with a large engineering company and did manual labor with people he hated. He left early and didn’t have a problem finding his next internship. The key is to leave in a professional manner and get a recommendation during the year you can use for the next job. If it were me and I knew I’d get a bad recommendation from a poor fit job I’d rather it be a for a poor fit summer job than a semester plus internship.
