Is it a bad look to graduate and immediately go into bookkeeping?

I am asking because as I am graduating, it turns out my family's company needs help of someone to help them do bookkeeping because of a current employee who is unruly and is about to get laid off. I worked there before as a management intern, and frankly as my job search for both big and small accounting firms has been less than successful, so I am planning to at least work there for a year.

I couldn't get an internship (I did send out resumes everywhere I could) at an accounting firm prior because I was overloaded with classwork and actual work, and because my parents are getting old and constantly demand I am home. But I am really worried that since I couldn't even get an accounting internship, the family company has no CPA under whom I can acquire the necessary hours, and the fact I am working at my family's company which I am worried will look bad (I am constantly worried I look like I am a nepobaby), I am frankly just worried my about to be earned degree is already wasted. Everybody else is getting their certification tests and getting hired and here I am wasting myself. Like I have an alright GPA but nothing else to my name, just one investment club I attended in Freshman year and then failed to keep attending.
