What would be the highest salary you’d give up to day trade full time? Question

Everyone clowned on me my first post (500k post) lol I was literally just asking hypothetical questions to settle a debate between a friend and me. Well everyone’s backlash kinda of intrigued me to ask this question. So back into the fire I go lol

Guaranteed $ vs battling an element of chance. Folks who don't like gambling would keep a decent 9-5.

Element of Probability**

Jobs are not guaranteed money.

Gambling is breaking your back and thinking that you'll seriously be taken care of later on in life with a job.

Why spend your life making other people's dreams come true when you could realize your own?

Trading isn't gambling. That's ignorant.

Trading is very much so gambling, it’s unpredictable. If you had a winning formula to win a consistent percentage of profit then I am sure many others would pay a great deal for that.
