I am afraid that my coworkers and management team are not the sharpest. I could take a temp job or babysit in the meantime. I don't think I would be very happy at the job but I would learn a lot as it is a new field and they offer free training.

D's right. If you know what you are doing, take the job and roll with it until something better comes along. Steady employment looks better than temp work on a resume. [edit:] Especially since they are offering free training. Even if you think you're overqualified, there's always the chance to learn something new.

This is not an easy question to answer. The job market is pretty good at the moment so there is a big advantage to keep looking. The main problem with taking the job will be that you may not keep looking for what you are after. You may let it slide, even if you are not happy.
On the other hand if it pays well and it is a new field and you will learn a lot there is something to be said about that also. Plus you will be gaining experience.
Those are the main points. Weigh them and then decide.
My son took a job that he was not all that fond of when his previous company closed out his division. That job however offered him a stepping stone into the really great job he currently has.

How much of a cash cushion do you have if you want to sit back and keep looking? If you don't have at least a few months' cash at hand, I would suggest taking the job you're overqualified for, even if you don't like it - it sounds like you would be getting some potentially useful training, and you could keep looking for a new job in the meantime. Then when a new job turns up, you don't have to feel bad about leaving this so-so job anyway.

you're saying funds isn't significant, yet interest journey can help you in getting a sparkling interest as properly as having something to positioned on your resume. you could take the interest, and nevertheless seem for something greater beneficial. It relies upon on how a lot you like the money and/or journey. i'm variety of on your place, being in between an associate's and a bachelor's even although, at age 23, funds is a component for me, and any interest is greater than no interest. i've got been at the back of schedule in my bachelor's and if funds became no longer an argument i could be nevertheless at college engaged on my degree. even although, I unquestionably have not purely hire to pay yet $8,000 a 12 months training if i'm to return to college to pay or get loans for as properly.

Well, you are going to be there 8 hours of your day if it's full time, so you might want to make sure its something you will be really happy doing.
If you don't need the money, I would hold off until you find something you really like.
As far as the free training, is it in a field you are interested in? If so, it might be worthwhile. But, I wouldn't want to get trained for something that didn't particularly interest me.

Only take the job if you need it financially. Otherwise you won't enjoy what you're doing. That can never be a good thing.

Don't take a job you are over qualified for. You will get bored very quickly.
