If your company is going out of business and you have a limited amount of time to find a new one, would you accept a job offer from a company that is willing to place you in a well paying position that is out of your field?
This means risking a lot with no guarantee they'll keep you and it also represents wasted time if it doesn't work out.

Yes, I'd take it. You'll be getting a paycheck and a chance to broaden your work experience. You can always keep looking for something else while you're trying out this job, so its not really wasted time. Getting paid is always better than being unemployed and broke.
As someone who hires, I always worry more about gaps in employment than someone who tried something different that turned out not to be a fit for them.

It depends on whether the new job seems like something you would truly enjoy, or if not, whether it would allow you to get your foot in the door to show your stuff in case a job you'd like comes up there.
Life is risk. To get great stuff, sometimes you have to risk. No time is wasted - you always learn something and have new experiences.

This is a hard one to answer. I accepted a job out of my field because of a workforce reduction. I hated it.

Of course you should take it if you like the prospects. Far better than starving, also..

TAKE A LEAVE OF ABSENCE IN YOUR CURRENT JOB AND TRY THE NEW ONE AND SEE IF IT IS FOR YOU.
