Should i switch my major and my career path

[Noahsteelers34]

I am contemplating a very pivotal moment in my life.  I just finished my freshman year at college studying engineering, but I have been contemplating becoming a therapist.

I don't care about calculus. I don't care about physics. I don't care about CAD and 3d design. some of the engineering classes Ive taken have been dreadful.

the idea struck me of becoming a therapist because I am interested in psychology, I am interested on optimising ones health mentally, physically and just being all-around happy in life. The idea of being about to impact someone's life and improve their life is something that I would like. 

I originally decided on engineering after I took the purpose course because I liked creating things. Like as a kid I would play with legos and create things, but the more I think about it I realize that's not really what I would be doing as an engineer. Part of me did it because I would make a lot of money. 

I don't want to make a quick rash decision and switch to therapy because I have been a quick rash person in the past. The only issue is I would pretty much have is to restart school. I would have to do 6 years instead of 4. and I wouldn't make nearly as much money. Currently, in engineering, I feel no sense if passion or purpose and I don't know if that's because I haven't developed the skills or if it just isn't right for me. 

what are your guy's thoughts on therapy as a career?
