Hi, before you think about commission, do you think anyone without any commercial/industrial experience can hit the target as per required by companies? In this era, can you imagine how many graduates (U or diploma) are looking for jobs? Frankly speaking, you are the same with them. With no private experience at all.

Please work out the sum. You need at least 1 k for the car and maintenance. Deduct away CPF, not much left. Let's imagine you did well after 1 year. And you get your commission shares. But can you withstand customer talking bad about you or your products when you sell something to them, can you stomach all these since you have been as a police officer before?

It is not easy being in sales. But no harm giving it a try, if you do not have any family commitment.
