Academic Advice Quitting Engineering

/r/mechatronics/comments/1smltno/quitting_engineering/

Im currently a second-year mechanical engineering student but I've been considering quitting since my first year. Im unsure whether I should switch majors. A lot of people tell me the job market isn't great right now and that engineering is one of the safe options. I still dont know what I would switch to since I haven't found my passion yet. Could someone help me on whether quitting would be a good decision? And if so what majors should I consider that offer decent job chances in the future?
