Stay the course? or choose a new path?

I'm not doing very well as an engineer.  I don't seem to have much interest in it.  I'm not sure what my interest is anymore.  But one thing is sure, I'm not likely to get into the college of engineering, especially not without lots of work catching up. 

I'm not sure what my passion is.  Everyone I know in this city is passionate about something.  My childhood friend and her best friend are both crazy into school, pharmacy and biochem respectively (I think).  Plus her and her friend (but more her friend) are deep supporters of LGBT rights. 

My brother is passionate about building computers, and his girlfriend is passionate about art and creativity. 

The other part time employee of the company I work for is passionate about learning about networking, and quite passionate that he is not worth much (much to my attempts to convince him otherwise).

And then, the friends I met at school all have their passions.  For two it's dancing, and school.  For another, it's school and computer science. 

They all have plans, and goals.  And here I am still wondering what I like to do most.  Maybe I'm passionate about stories.  Or maybe Ideas.  I do spend a lot of my time thinking up interesting things, but I rarely get a chance to actually make/do them.  Maybe I'm passionate about video games and animation?

Or maybe I just need to get it into gear?

I think I will end up leaving Engineering and going to Letters and Sciences.  From there, I don't know.  I could use the little bit of transfer over I have from ECE, and go for a computer science degree.  Or I could try something new.  Art, or English perhaps?  But anything that's not computer science related might take another 2 years.

I don't know what's best.
