Was always told to stay away from those jobs....company has no stake in you.

I wish - sadly I make pure salary, but I'm not truly sales either.

Have no ethics or morals. Sell to your grandmother if necessary.

maybe for most, but if you have an established base and good networking skills, you can make a killing

The AE's where I work are 100% commission and they just fired a guy a couple weeks ago for not producing enough...

I'm straight commission.
No regrets

Depends on what you're selling and if you have a customer base or have to build your own. Are you cold calling and how do you advertise. Who's paying your expenses?

this is true for any sales job regardless of commission salary set up. Hell, its true of any profession, period.

if you are straight commission you are a subcontractor not an employee regardless of what your paycheck says
