HEEEELLLLLLP MEEEEEEE!!!

OK...here's the deal...

I have a good job. I help manage commercial property. The money is ok, and I've gotten an offer to manage another property in Pacifica (beach town), that is, IF the company buys the property.

I also got an offer yesterday to manage the office of a real estate broker, AND to cultivate clients in real estate sales. This is sales of manufactured homes, which is booming despite the housing crunch because of the skyrocketing price of single family homes in the Bay Area. Managing the office, however, is a cut in pay, but the potential is there to make A LOT of money per sale ($3000-$11000).

The problem is that I pretty much support my household 100%, and the cut in pay in the beginning would cause problems. The potential is there, but not guaranteed.

What would you do? Would you stay in a job you are comfortable in but are starting to dislike, or would you take the chance to do what you've wanted to do for years? Is this post even making sense?

I'm so confuse

Your household's dependency on your salary should make the decision, I suppose.

If it was just you, I would say, follow your heart, dump the boring job.

Who are you dependents? You a single parent?

Yup, single parent, father is a deadbeat.

I am married to someone, but he doesn't make enough to provide any kind of buffer.

Ahhhh, if it were just me.

We're working on that.

I've been creating all kinds of scenarios in my head to make this work.

I agreed a long time ago to receive a big whopping $150 a month from the ex for our daughter, but maybe I should at least up it to guideline. ??? After all, he hasn't seen her in eight years, and I have supported her all this time without complaint.
