To jump or not to jump?

Hi guys! I currently have 2 jobs, 1 in resi care where I have been for 8 months on agency, and 1 month permanent, and I hate it! Absolutely hate it. Dread going in for each shift type hate it! And all I do is break even every month. Other job is as a Business Manager for a friend but work is very occasional and therefore not lucrative.
Have been offered a self employed sales job with one of the IT Training Organisations. OTE's are excellent, and even half OTE would be considerably more than I make now. If it all went pear shaped I could always go back to agency work. I'm really tempted to make the jump...............would you??!! Thx in advance.

    I suppose it depends on whether you can service your outgoings on the basic salary. If you can then I would jump.

    If you think you would be happier, yes.
    Sometimes we have to take what we percieve to be a risk in order to get to a better place.
    Good luck.
