Getting experience

So I have an issue I’m starting a position as a stockbroker trainee (sales rep lol) and I’m promised to have my series 7 series 68 and SEI exam in 6 months. I’m planning on taking the roll and dipping after I get those because the pay is literally a joke (1200 a month) it’s not that I don’t want to satay but I literally can’t afford this. So my question is would these licenses help me get a more decent job.

Ps. Recent graduate no experience non target and a bad GPA. I understand the situation just trying to see what I can do about it.
