For now, I’d take a job after college (not, I must stress, an unpaid internship) in the occupation of your dreams even if that means you’re doing low level clerical work.
It’s a good idea in any economy to learn what the actual practice of your dream job looks like on a day-to-day basis, what the character of your future occupation-mates is likely to be and how much you believe you can help move the needle of the wage gap from its present sorry state to zero.
Graduate school will wait. Life, however, bizarre, exciting, enticing, complex, frightening, stimulating and often as boring as cardboard, awaits you.
Go get ’em Tigress!
