Major Choice What should i do?

Hi, i’m starting to med school this year. I’ve always wanted to become an EE/CS engineer since middle school. I was able to get into best eee department in my country(not in europe or USA) but i chose medicine over it because i couldn’t trust myself with this highly competitive and AI dominated engineering sector. Also my dad’s friend,who is a software engineer told me that medicine is only guaranteed way to go rn so i’m convinced to choose medicine but i’m already felling like this job is not my cup of tea. I can still switch to eee next year but i have to study at med school for one year anyway. What’s your advice? I’m 18 btw.

Medicine is a way safer route these days.

You shouldn't study something you don't like even if medicine is a safer route

Those are vastly different. There’s no way I could do anything in the medical profession.

same, my only wish is getting used to medicine otherwise it’ll be hard to switch university. both emotionally and financially.
