Would switching majors be worth it?

So I’m a first year engineering student at the best engineering college in my country (it’s a third world country, not India though so it’s not significant) and recently I’ve been contemplating switching to medicine next year as a lot of people say it’s going to be the only field to survive due to ai and it’s not overcrowded. My goal is to eventually leave this country for the US (ultimate goal for me) or Europe at the very least and make a good living. Would switching be a smart move? Even if it means I’d be wasting a year.
