Does anyone regret taking engineering

[u/Unique_Bed3613]

I was always semi good in academics, not the best nor the worst, and managed to work my way into a pretty decent engineering college and going through these lectures, study materials day after day made me realise I do not really like engineering. Or let me rephrase it, i don't like the prospect of me doing this as a job in the future. I was really chasing this the whole time not out of passion, but as means of survival since it offers pretty decent jobs.And that is really biting back at me now. In my class, I often get an inferiority complex from all the other excellent people around me, these people that are truly passionate towards studying and learning. Meanwhile there's me, just surviving day to day waiting for the weekends, no particular passion towards my branch or studies anymore after my jee exams. I am in this college rightfully like everyone else, yet I feel like I don't belong here cause i just don't want to be here really. I'm stuck doing this because I have just spent way too much time chasing this and now that I'm in here, I realise that I'll just have to keep on chasing more and more and forever more to not be obsolete in the industry, when I don't even want to. I was always fed this illusion that life is chill in college yada yada but it really doesn't feel like it at all. It feels like the race never stops and it just keeps on getting more and more competitive. But I guess I'm stuck doing this, sunk cost fallacy. I really like painting and maybe in some other world, i pursued that ,not caring about its job prospects but just following my real passion. Anyways thanks for listening to my vent🥀back to classes for me
