Too many other factors are involved... do you have a job now? Do you have any savings to wait for another job? Do you need to provide for anyone? Do you have a skill set to easily get another job? Your age? I could go on and on.

As I responded to your duplicate post:
The commission you are citing SUCKS. Do what you want.

So question(s).
With all due respect.
Why does it suck?
How difficult is it to meet written premium?
What if I was offered a base salary of $24,000 plus comission & bonus?

Why does 10%-20% commission suck? If we're talking about P&C insurance, most companies pay a minimum of 25% regardless of annual premiums written. If we're talking about life insurance, most companies pay first year commissions of up to 150% of first year premium (depending on the product).
$24,000 + commission + bonus? What trade-offs are there in that? Are you willing to work 60 hours per week for $8.00 per hour? That's what $24,000 is worth before "commissions + bonus." You probably won't earn commissions until they surpass the $24,000 mark (or exceed $2,000 per month).
It doesn't sound like you've asked the "employer" the questions you are asking here.
