Seems like anything would be "worth it" compared to protracted unemployment.

You're not entering into servitude, you can always move on if you find something else you find more attractive.

It is easier to get a job if you have a job. Budget and save and cut all random expenses (Netflix, coffee out, etc).

We need more info. Have you been looking this whole time and this is your first offer? Aside from the pay does it seem good? Logistics and content wise? Can you afford to keep looking?
