Need some input
So, I just started a job with a Fortune 200 company, great benefits, great support, potentially great money. But it is commission based sales and service support. (Selling Life Insurance, annuities, mutual funds, rolling over IRAs, etc.)

I also just got offered a job in the career field that I want (tech) for less money but it's guaranteed(salary rather than commission), not exactly the job I want, (it's the company that I really want to work for, still a Fortune 500 company) but still great benefits.

In my place, would you take the job with better potential money (I'd like to start a family soon) but more stress (sales), or the job in the field that I like, even if the actual work I'd be doing now is less rewarding but the pay is still decent?

I am firmly impaled on the fence.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
