16 and I Enjoy Computers/Hardware, What Career Fields Should I Look Into?

Hello, I've been trying to set up a path for what I should do after high school, I'm going into my junior year and I'm just looking for some advice or recommendations.

For starters, I really enjoy computers/hardware. I've been messing around with PCs since I was 10, and I've always enjoyed them. Troubleshooting, building, all of that stuff. I do currently have a small side hustle of building and selling PCs, and I'd say it's done fairly well for my age? I've made around $20k in the last two years from it.

For things I don't enjoy, I really do not like presentations, or anything very social. I can definitely have conversations with people, but I despise talking to larger groups. I also don't really enjoy software to an extent. I can do relatively basic stuff pretty easily, but I'm just not a huge fan of it. I'm sure I could learn relatively easily if I were to put time into it. Another thing I really dislike is scripting/coding. Anything involving that is a huge no-no. I just don't understand a thing about it, but maybe I'd be down to learn later on?

Anyways with all of that considered, I'm just looking for some basic advice/path recommendations I should look into. If anyone has any experience in these fields, I'd love to hear from you and learn more

16 and just lost $5000, how do I quit gambling?

I'm genuinely in desperate need of help. I was on a call with some friends just talking. Then I decided to deposit on a non-kyc website, did a small $50 deposit. Lost it. Deposited more. Lost it. Deposited $250, and I ran it to $5k. Within the span of 10 minutes I was back down to $0. I literally couldn't stop. I have maybe $500 left to my name, which I typically build PCs with to make some money. I genuinely don't know how I can keep building PCs with $500 left, not sure how I can pick myself back up either and finally quit. I need genuine help, please. I've been gambling since I was 13, so for three years, almost four soon. Over the span of these three years, I've lost over $20k. This is my call for help, I don't know what to do next

Should I Trade-In My Pixel 8 for the Pixel 11?

Hello, I've been thinking about buying a Pixel 11. I could trade in my Pixel 8 for $380, I have a $200 discount, and I'm getting $100 to buy anything on the site. The total would be $360 for the Pixel 11. I don't have anything terribly wrong with the Pixel 8, but the battery has been getting worse overtime and there are slight studders with my phone.

I'm just wondering if you guys think it's worth purchasing/trading in for? Thanks!
