<human>: Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?

I'll try and keep this short.

I recently got offered a job as a Caricature artist for a full time position, but it is a Commission based only job. (There is NO base pay)

The job seems great, after I got offered the job I asked for a day to talk it over with my husband and learn more about the job on my own; I went out of my way to go to the location where the current artist work and see what it was like, and afterward I approached guy and asked him a few questions. (He was happy to answer them all)

The thing is, I just recently graduated with a BFA in illustration, I KNOW it's hard to get a job in the field of art now a days. But the thing that scares me about this job is that it's a commission based ONLY job. So if I'm not drawing pictures of people, I'm not making money. (So in a sense I could be sitting for 5+ hours and not take home a penny). 

But- on the other side, I could be doubling even tripling what I am doing now, which is just a minimum wage job. I am afraid of potentially walking away from my current job, where I am in good standing with the company and know I am getting a paycheck each and every week. (But- I hate not doing art) 

I guess I am just looking for some outside advice. My husband thinks I should go for it; but my Dad thinks it's a bad idea, and it's better to just have a job where you know your gonna be paid at the end of the week instead of not knowing.
