Should she thank her lucky stars?

I live in Florida. My best friend just graduated from College last year with a BA in Criminology. She has been having the hardest time finding a job in her field and any other field for that manner. She has a child and has basically been applying for any job (walmart, cvs, Kohl's, etc) but I'm assuming that because she is "overqualified" (I don't get that, but anyway) she hasn't had any offers.
Anyway, she finally got an offer at an inbound call center as a receptionist for doctors, lawyers, financial orgs and such. She is upset that the pay is only $8.50 for part time and is considering not taking it. I told her she can always ask for full time and she can also continue to look for other work while there. What do you guys think? Should she be happy or at least grateful?

Being happy or grateful does not count....being in a job always helps you get another job much easier than none at all.
Because in employment you will get the chance of meeting other people and developing a network.....someone who knows someone, is looking for a 'receptionist' or looking for a 'financial advisor' etc etc....

I talk to people all the time that are in their "in between jobs". If she has no income coming in, then a little is better than nothing.
