Just finished my degree in managerial science and have a minor in marketing and a Sales certificate. Have had 4 different management jobs. Just accepted an opportunity as a district manager for an Insurance company. Not 100% sure about Commission-based only. Would love to manage in the sales world, and would love to travel on a weekly basis. Any advice or am I aiming for something unrealistic at the moment?

I just left a district manager role that was 100% commission based. It can be quite taxing and harmful to work-life balance, but it has incredible upside. With your level of experience, looking for / expecting a base salary is not unreasonable though
