I just landed a commission based sales representative at this digital agency. It's remote I have to work from home . I wanted something to get me out of my comfort zone before I finish my studies , Current I am year 2 student at university. But I am afraid that I might not do well in the this job and it might affect my academic. I am saying "maybe I should drop it and focus on my studies since the meeting will even happen in the morning and I have classes in morning everyday". ( Guess I am using that as an excuse). What should I do . ?

Advice on how to handle this 🙏.

Commission based jobs are hard and do require a lot of work to get to a point where you're generating a reasonable income. That's my biggest concern. If you'd only be making commission, I'd definitely recommend trying to find a different position.

If you feel like you're willing to work up to it, take the job with a set time limit in mind, IE "I will give this 6 weeks and if I feel too stressed with everything on my plate, I can quit."

You're a full time student, first and foremost. Your education should be your main priority. But this could be a really good opportunity to learn what you can handle and how to manage your time effectively.
