Commission vs salary

We all work for free. 
Starting out, I would go for salary or salary + bonus. Give yourself time to see if you like the work, and can make it in sales.
Once you learn it, like it and have enough confidence you can make it, there is time to cut the strings & move on.
This is a tough business. Most folks fail in their first 6 months and few make it beyond 18. I see no reason to put extra pressure on you by having a bunch of weeks strung together with goose eggs just so you can pat yourself on the back when you score $1000+ in a week.

Strictly commission is 100%. 
right?

Just realize that when you do something other than 100% commission, you will be giving up some freedom: owning the book of business and choice of prospecting methods are two I can think of off the top of my head.
