I don’t want to take a job offer but I have to

I got a job offer which pays very less for the city it's in. Rent will eat up half the salary and rest would go in other expenses ( I don't even know if it will be enough, I'll have to SERIOUSLY cut my expenses). It is also a 6 day work week. It is extensive work. Not only will I have to do digital work using my digital skills, I also will have to run around and get things done ( it is an export house). There would be absolutely no scope of creativity either. Oh and the interviewer asked me ” Are you not getting married soon? ” when I told her my age I'm 25 (f). Maybe it doesn't bother most people but casual sexism / homobhobia is very frustrating to me (I'm also queer). My parents are pressuring me to take it because I'm not getting…

My parents are pressuring me to take it because I'm not getting any other offers anywhere, I mean fair, but I really feel like I will suffer immense burnout from this job, it doesn't even pay enough and I just overall have a bad gut feeling. My parents are probably not gonna let me not take this job. I know it's very entitled of me to not want to take this, but willingly working for a place which isn't gonna help me really just doesn't sound good to me.
I wanted to pursue masters and other design related courses so I can polish my skills and freelance, or get better opportunities bur my parents are against that.

(I come from a conservative country hence the controlling parents)

I inevitably will take this offer, but it is just making me VERY anxious 🙁
