There is nothing wrong in saying yes to the first job offer that comes your way. However, before accepting the offer you should know that the job is going to provide you with job satisfaction and going to compensate you according to what you deserve. A lot of people make mistakes by accepting the first job offer due to the following reasons:
Career over salary: Students often get very competitive and in an effort to prove that they can make more money than their peer might take up the first job offer that offers them a large salary package. However, what they do not understand is that the industry they may be picking does not interest them at all, and they will get bored in a matter of may be a few months or few years and it may be too late to switch courses then.
Pre application research: If you apply for the wrong first job, you may just get the offer. Therefore be sure that you have done the research that is needed to be sure that you will like the job you get accepted into. A few things that you should be sure of is whether you want to work in a certain industry, do you have the skill sets that the job requires and are you doing it only for the money.
Desperation: Do not accept the first job out of desperation because your peers have already got offers, or because your parents are getting worried or even if you have to pay off the bank. Wait till a good offer comes your way, it may take some time, but you will find something that will make you happy.
