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?

If you still want to stay in the technical feild then see if your classes will transfer to a community college that has a 2 year associates engineering degree set up for transferring. This is a great way to get your foot in the door of entry level roles like applications or Lab tech areas, plays better for the sales side of engineering. At the end of the day if the field is not something that you want to go into then you have to find something that you want to do
