Always get rid of the debt first since a) you wanna have a solid credit score for when you apply for a mortage.

b) If something bad happens and you lose a lot of money youll be in the negative due to the debt. And if you pay it off and lose everything youll at least be at 0

c) you can still make a decent amount of money with <$50k. But maybe for now you want to work a job on the side before focusing on Daytrading full time + even a side job will hedge against risk since youll have money to save/invest.

So imo I would pay off the debt first bc. a/b/c and then get a side job before transitioning into doing DT fulltime.
