I am 100% commision. Wouldn't have it any other way!
Re: Commission Jobs...
depends who's eyes you see it through, I'm not much of a gambler and I'd like to have an XX take home for the bad months in addition to having an X% of commissions.

When i graduated from college, i was 100% commission medical sales for 7 years. It's the only way to go if you're not a lazy bastard. It keeps you motivated, plus, much more money.
Re: Commission Jobs...
ive never had a commission job, but have worked at places that have commission positions. its not for me... im not a "go-getter" so to speak...
Re: Commission Jobs...
commission job is my only alternative. your work ethic is the only limit.
salary jobs, are secure but have a ceiling and i dont like that...
i love my commissions :)
Re: Commission Jobs...
If you want to make money, go commissions. People who are commission (generally sales) earn 3x+ more than salary/hourly positions. There is more risk involved, but you get paid for that risk.
If you're into to the job security/weekly paycheck thing then stick with a salary.
A comfortable mix of the two is great way to go.

You are most definately not wasting your time. Comission = Good $$
