Is it a bad idea to take a job I don't want?

Don't roll your eyes just yet monkeys. I've struggled immensely to secure interviews for the past several months and so far the only offer I've gotten is as a broker trainee. This is an entry level position at a shop which seems to conduct themselves in a manner more akin to being a pyramid scheme than a reputable firm. I was hoping I'd get at least a PWM or B.O. internship by now and I haven't. Due to health issues and a low GPA I have delayed graduation, added classes, changed schools, and I don't seem to be making any significant progress. An MFin seems like a good bet yet I still need to do something about my lack of experience. Bail? What would be my consequences when firms look at my resume in the future?
