I got offered to TA for a class that I didn't enjoy and fully comprehend during my undergraduate. I'm getting offered $5000 to do it, but it's for a freshman scholars program and I'm already TAing another scholars class.
pros: looks awesome on resume, $$$
cons: I don't know the material and might end up making myself miserable and looking like a complete jackass in front of aspiring scholars
Should I do it?

Don't do it. A bad teacher is worse than no teacher at all. Admit to your profs that you don't really have a handle on the material and would rather teach something else like [have alternatives ready]. The profs, who have enough trouble with students who didn't learn what some inept TA was supposed to teach them, won't hold your honesty against you.

If you can't teach the subject don't do it.

lmao what's the class about?
In my undergrad years I had a hard time with measure theory since sir E.M.Stein god bless his venerable wisdom decided to give us an entirely different construction of measurable sets and outer measure from Caratheodory's. You can still read this development in his real analysis text book it's quite funny.

Thanks, I'm probably going to turn it down. It's for microbiology, which I just don't have a grip on.
Thanks anons.
