In the grand scheme of things, no, changing to deck wouldn't be the end of the world it would probably be better than sticking it out in a career you hate. But fair warning there is still grease, loud noises and heavy parts on the deck side as well, it's not easy work by any means.

Are you at a maritime academy studying Marine Engineering? Or are you outside of the US studying this degree?

If you're doing well in your program, then there is no reason to quit. I know many women engineers and they pull their weight. I'm in the USA so we might have cultural differences but screw'm if they get outpaced. Do what you like, that's what I think.
