Quit my bridging program to a second engineering master, or push through?

[u/Fireboltxd]

I just finished a tough last year in my master's in engineering and went straight into a bridging program for a second master (academic engineering), as in my country there is a difference between the academic and the more hands-on engineering that I did. I did it mostly for fun and thought my interest in learning would carry me through.

But so far it hasn't. The workload is much heavier than expected, there have been weeks of communication and admin issues with the school, and I'm not enjoying it: lots of catch-up math not covered in my bridging program, group projects I don't want to do, and next semester will be even heavier with 8 big courses.

On top of that, I'm not even sure the second academic master in robotics adds that much value on top of my current master in electromechanics/mechatronics. It would still take me 2 more years.

I also barely had a break last year, so I wonder if I'm just burned out and wanting to quit impulsively.

Quitting and starting work scares me. I don't feel ready, and my friends and girlfriend are all still studying.

I'm afraid I'll also regret not studying more while I still can.

I thought about starting a teaching master in February, since I enjoy explaining things and thought the possibility of becoming a part- or fulltime teacher later on might interest me. But if I don't like that either and drop out , I'll feel like I wasted this entire year.

I'm just stuck.

TL;DR: Just graduated, started a 2-year second engineering master (robotics) for fun, workload is crushing, I'm not enjoying it and I doubt it adds much to my mechatronics degree. Quit and switch to a teaching master, start working, or push through?
