Career advice question

Hi everyone,

Like many people, I currently don't have a job. I do however, work freelance gigs from time to time that pay pretty well. (I also join paid focus groups, which are awesome!)

I work in the TV production field & I haven't gotten a gig since I shot some Kart races at Daytona in late December. Local opportunities in my field is fairly limited and I will have to move to NY or LA eventually.

My question is, I have an opportunity to work in a cruise line as a photog that will require a 6 month commitment.

On the plus side, I will be getting paid.

On the negative side, this will not get me further in my career nor would it allow me to interview for jobs.

Do you guys think that taking this would be hurtful in the long run, even though it might be financially helpful in the immediate future?

FWIW, here's a link to my website: Arvin Charles' Resume Reel - About Me
