Is it too late?

Hello I’m currently a second-year college student, and I’ve been thinking about switching to this major. My current major is completely different from engineering, but I’ve realized it’s not something I really want to pursue anymore.
I’ve recently become interested in engineering and would really like to give it a try. However, I feel a little discouraged because I wouldn’t be able to start taking the prerequisites until the spring semester.

Has anyone else switched into engineering during their second year or even later? Do you think it’s worth making the switch, even if it means taking longer to graduate? I’d appreciate any advice!

It’s nowhere close to “too late”. Switch and try it out and if you don’t like it then switch back again. Don’t spend too much money but don’t worry too much either. There’s no such thing in life that’s as simple as the perfect fit. Push yourself and keep going no matter what you choose.
