    This totally depends on you and your financial conditions. If you need to finance a number of things currently take the role, earn the money and once you are financially stable switch to the job profile you like.

    Accepting a job that you don't like will do you no good in the long run. You will not be able to give your best at work. You may be good at your job, but you won't be able to be the best at it. Job satisfaction is very important and you won't have this if you do not like your job.

You can always shift to a job that you love after you become financially stable.
