I was in this exact position when I was starting my first year of college. Western Digital offered me a job right after I graduated high school. It wasn't even a job I was considering because it was totally different than what I wanted to do. But the pay was great, especially as a first year, so I took the job because the incentives were lining up and I believed that the "pay" would make me happier. It ended up being the total opposite, I was not excited about anything I was doing and didn't want to do anything, but go home! To make matters worse anything that ticked you off at work, even if it's like a piece of hair on your tongue, you would complain about the job (even if it isn't to blame). I ended up quitting because I didn't see a future in it. It's not what I wanted to do.

In my experience, you should decline the offer and try to get your dream job. If you don't get accepted to your dream job, kindly ask them why and work even harder to get it!

Good luck :)
