Default Dream Job vs Stable Job?

I'm 27 and in need for some career advise. I have been working in operational roles for the last 4 years. My passion lies in the financial market but I'm confident I can succeed in operations.

Recently I was offered two roles;

First one wil require me to take serious pay cut but has good future earning potentials. This role is as a trainee equities dealer which is the area which I'm truely passionate. Future payoff would be somewhere around 100k-400k?

Second one is a step up from my previous role, has a very comfortable income and will lead my career path as a managerial position in 2-3 years. Future earning of around 100k-150k?

My MAIN concern with the trainee dealer role is whether I can survive financially! My rent is already costing 1k/month, which is half of the salary.

What should I do? Should I pursue my dream job at this time and age? or should continue with my current stable path which i'm capable of doing but not passionate in?

Thanks
