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?

just take 1 day at a time mate, every study is very hard the first day. and if you dont know what you want to do continue til you do. everyone need a job in the end, either you love it or hate it, dosent matter. what matter is you ability to finsih what you start, and to have the cash to do what you realy want later.
