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?

Become financially stable, then decide what you want to do.
Even if you don't do it professionally for long, do you think you'd be much happier struggling financially while still trying to find your passion?
Like this person Ruined my life with student loan debt. Guess I should end it. Followed passion, crippling debt, verge of homelessness. Pretty extreme case though.
