Would it be *that* douche to take an admin assistant job for 2-3 months?

So, I told my dad tonight about my secret, amazing plan to take practically *any* other job and make more than where I work now. 
A lot of the promising prospects I've seen involve working as an office or administrative assistant, typically for $10-12/hour, which isn't bad. Especially if you make fucking 7.50 an hour.
I could be out of debt--completely--within 2 months. 
Here's the thing: my dad pointed out what I already knew, namely that they invest a LOT front-end training administrative assistant type roles, and may literally lose money if someone quit after a month or two.
I'm hoping to go home (back to my old university) this January though, late... LATE in the month.
I'd be telling job prospects I'm here till at least the end of next summer.
Worst case scenario: I'm stuck here still, but with a much-better-paying-job.
Other WCS: Could this get me a bad recommendation? is it ethically unjustifiable?

I'm not honestly sure what you're asking.
If the job is something you can tolerate and pay the bills+pay your debt, then how would it be "douche?"

Nox buddy, one thing i have learned is that you gotta do what you gotta do. You're debts now are probably more than what they will lose.
Take the job, get the skrill.
Do whatever you can do live in this fucked up world successfully. I wouldn't feel bad man. It's kind of a shitty thing to do, especially if they are some sort of independent organization, but at the end of the day you gotta look out for number 1.

If you're at least decently smart it won't take that long to train you and they won't be losing much of their "investment" of paying you to work while you're still sub-optimal for a week. Don't lie, though. Lying's bad. Just avoid the question if it comes up.

Best advise so far! And that's totally true--is there even possibly a chance they're using a phone system or software suite that I can't pick up in a couple days?
Probs n0t--so get ready to be flooded with my resume!

It obviously wouldn't be a GOOD reference.
"Yeah the guy lied to us and skipped out several months early, lost us a lot of money...great worker though." 
That would be your main problem. Ethically it is not very good but that's only if you're one to give a fuck about that sort of thing.

Why would you even include that in your work history on a resume? Just take the job, quit in two months, don't write it on your resume. Simple shit.

I mean my IGAF is totally on except when I could be making nearly 150% of what I'm making.

Take the admin job. Quit after 3 months. It's a business risk.
Everybody is out there for themselves, so should you
