Madison,
The good news isn't just the extension of the job, it's that you have someone who recognizes your skillsets and is willing to help you get into a better situatiion. Everyone has untapped skils that we don't even realize are potentially useful for various tasks.
My degree (Horticulture) has nothing to do with my job (polymer research), but it is amazing how many times I can draw back on some horticulture training I received that directly relates to the task I'm trying to accomplish. How I got this job has been a series of bosses who helped me by recommending my skills on to my next potential boss. As you move through projects, you gather additional skills and they often will help prepare you for your next position.
A career is never static.
Good Luck!
