I just feel lost

Findapath-Job Choice/Clarity

Currently in my first year of community college for Mechanical Engineering. However, I am having second thoughts. I just dont feel passionate about engineering and thus some of my grades have slipped. Every day I find myself wanting a career which is more dynamic and "outdoorsy" I guess you could say. Over the past year I have found myself more and more interested in things like aviation, wilderness guiding, ect.

I am just wondering if anyone has any recomendations for careers that may fit into this. I have been especially interested in becoming a bush pilot but simply dont have the money for flight school and from what I have heard its a field that requires a lot of commitment which I dont know if I am ready for. so currently I am looking at other things.

Overall, I guess you could say I am just lost. I dont really know for certain what I want to do. I just know that I want something more active and hands on. Salary is not super important to me. As long as I can afford to live somewhat comfortably I think I will be satisfied. Any recomendations would be appreciated.
