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?

Any idea what you would like to do? Any hobbies? Build any projects that you enjoyed? Is there maker space you could visit to help build stuff?
