Former EE major here who recently shifted to Med. Technology, Now I want to shift again to Information Technology.

I just shifted this semester from EE to Medical technology after studying EE for two years because I was getting unhappy with my former course and I was miserable while working on and designing circuits. The huge amounts of math was also stressful but didn't bother Me as much as the circuits did.

While majoring in MedTech this semester realized that I'm not suited for the huge amounts of chemistry on MedTech and the amount of information that you have to cram into your brain and memorize is off-putting, Its ridiculous how most of the subjects just involve memorizing stuff. So once again I'm unhappy with my current major and now getting unmotivated again.

I decided that I'll just shift to something that I'm interested in and stop worrying about getting a degree that will easily lead to a decent paying job. One of my biggest interest is PC hardware and working on PCs(if you check my post history I'm mostly on r/hardware , r/buildapc , and r/pcmasterrace) So I'm thinking of Shifting to Information Technology since I know that it mostly involves Practical applications of computers while requiring minimal programming.

Am I shifting to the right course or are there other computer related courses that are suitable? I'm more interested in maintaining and troubleshooting computer hardware than designing them or programming for them.

TL;DR: EE student for 2yrs shifted to MedTech. Now wants to Shift again to IT. Need opinions.
