Joined commercial brokerage. Am I crazy?!

[Nicholas Fiesel]

   So I pushed the chips all in, and I left my comfortable union job in favor of a position at a commercial brokerage as a salesperson making only commission. It's been a few days already, so far so good. No hard deals to speak of yet but a few potential ones in the works. A friend of mine works at this particular brokerage and he just made it sound like such a great oppurtuniy, and it seemed to come along at just the right time. 

   Has anyone done this? I know how much the guys in this office make and if I can hack it, I can make a killing, as well as invest commission in big deals. I know it's a risk but I'm determined to make it work. I'm getting licensed at night while working all day. I know that it's possible not to see any money for quite a while but I feel like that's what separates those who kinda want it who aren't willing to sacrifice from those who are willing to make the sacrifice of grinding it out until a deal closes. I chose the latter.
