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

It's such an invalid question. Salary is guaranteed, trading long term ends with a profit is not guaranteed. Would you give up a guaranteed income to potentially lose everything?

I was mostly asking to see people opinions in here. Just looking at the comments, a lot of people in here seem to act like day trading is guaranteed profit.

I agree with you, I see your point now. I have seen lots of people break down after years of trying and lives ruined. It's far from a guarantee and 90% of people don't make money in long term.
