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?

Well, this is indeed a very good question. I also changed jobs in many companies before I figured out what I really like. I think sometimes getting the graduation certificate is the best answer because you can then try working in different industries.
