I want to become an electrical engineer

Hello all, I need advice..

I am working at a decent paying job but I just show up and go into auto pilot mode doing things I genuinely hate. I feel like I am contributing literally nothing to a world I want to live in. I am 22 and have worked as a welder, insulator, wind turbine technician, hydraulic technician, and a Non destructive tester.

I have always said to coworkers and friends that if I could go back, I’d give electrical engineering a shot in college..

I don’t want to “go back” and I want to stop thinking that way.. I want to do it now.

To get to my question.. I have looked a lot into a college and their program for a Bachelors in EE and I think I’m ready to Book a tour at the school!

Can anyone give me perhaps an in depth look into what I should be focusing on as far as pre requisites? I have listed out software, projects, and studies I should be trying to get my head into more but I just want to see what the community recommends. Also, any general advice for college? My brain isn’t fresh out of high school anymore lol but I am thankful to have gained some good experience in industries like wind and rail.
