It would be foolish for a market novice to invest available money in the stock market if you could use that money to pay off your debts.
Investing in the stock market ain't easy and involves significant risk. The obvious risk is that you could conceivably lose all of your money and still have all of your debt -- and wouldn't that really, really suck? |

It is hard to give you a good answer without knowing what interest rate you are paying on the debt. If you have a low rate student loan at 4%, you may want to invest rather than pay it off. High interest debt like credit cards should be payed off before investing. If you tell us what interest rate you're paying we could give better advice.
If you can invest in a 401K at work, where the company does a match, it usually best to do this and let the debt ride. The company is giving you free money.

It depends on numerous factors, like how tight the budget is, the amount you were considering investing, knowlege of the stock market, prospects your considering, how well it's managed among other things. Some good sites to visit are tmtt.com, tradingmarkets.com, morningstar.com and http//finance.yahoo.com. |

You did not mention what the interest is on the debt (assuming its a credit card debt).
Either way, there is no stock that will meet or surpass the interest on the debt.
Pay the debt as soon as possible, then consider stocks. |

Invest
But first invest in knowledge, if you are new to the stock market.
Get some books, seminars, courses.
Do some fake trades -paper trading-, to get experience, and practice, practice, practice.
After a year of paper trades with some profits, put some real money on the line. |

If you have the option of participating in a 401k, 403b or other retirement savings vehicle, invest their first. You receive a tax deduction for the money you contribute to your 401k. If this is not available to you, then I'd open a Traditional IRA if you want a tax deduction and to be taxed when you withdraw your money, or a Roth IRA if you want to withdraw the money tax free.
If you just want to invest your money for personal savings, I would pay off your debt first. It may seem like a good time to get in the market now, but chances are you're paying a very high interest rate on your debt. |
