Should I look for another job?

Question

I've been working in an office for 11 months now. The first 10 were temping but a month ago I was made permanent. I've been wanting to study for a specific qualification for a couple of years now and now the company is willing to pay for it (it's quite expensive). The problem is, i'll be contracted to work here for the time spent studying and a year after that (totalling 4 years) and I really don't like my job. 

I work with rude people and have to teach someone who is very lazy and the manager makes me do the work she doesn't do, and I don't see this changing. Is it worth me holding off on the studying (I would have to wait at least another 6 months if I don't do it now, but I am only 20) so that I'm not tied in with the company and can look for other jobs while I work here? Or should I grit my teeth and put up with it until I can move to another department?

I think once I decline studying the qualification they know I've been dying to study, they'll know I'm looking at other jobs.

I think you should do the job qualification, you said ti yourself its pretty expensive. 
Truth is every job office haves its bad parts and I fear the fact that if you quit this one you might end up in a similar situation without the specific qualification paid for. 
Just think about it, I will also suggest improving your interaction skills around the office, especially with your manager since it isn't fair for you to work more then you are responsible for.

You have answered your own question.  Every job is annoying like this, so don't expect any better when you have changed jobs.
