Hi Luna!
I can totally relate to your situation. Though I’m done with college and am in grad school now, I too feel like my heart lies somewhere else. Everyone tells me that my dreams are impractical and will not get me employment, which is true. I’m at a stage where I cannot go back and fix things. So, the only advice I can give you from my own experience is that, try finding your happiness in the moment, in whatever you’re doing and at the same time try to identify what it is that you’re really passionate about. You can start taking baby steps towards pursuing it, for instance, reading up more on some issue that interests you. As is said, an ocean is created by millions of small droplets, you can slowly and steadily move towards finding your true calling in life. And as for engineering, my parents always tell me that nothing in life goes waste. Probably a few years down the line you would not regret the fact that you did your major in this subject. This was probably universe’s way of telling you that you must listen to your heart. Don’t worry too much. Just go with the flow and things will fall in place sooner or later. All the best! 🙂
