I bet you spent a lot of years preparing for your current career to finally satisfy your self by making it in front of the community while you proudly say "I'm an electric engineer".
But the question is: do you say it proudly in front of the mirror? are you really happy with your current situation?
Ask yourself "If I got to do it all over again, would I do it the same way?"
If your answer is "Yes" then know that you're in the right place, and if it's "No" then you should find that right place you would call "right".
Next step is to make a decision, know what you want, and pursue it.
Once you do that, you should investigate all the possibilities and write it on a paper, and believe me when I say that no possibility is far. If you dreamed of working in the Disney animation team -for example- you should put it in your possibilities list, close your eyes and imagine yourself working there already and believe in it, and once you do; then know that the hard part is over.
Yes, believing in what you dream of is half the way there.
Thirdly you should design a career change journey that will allow you to change destination. Note: THINK- LONG -TERMED.
Don't just quit your job and go for the next one, make sure you do this one step at a time. Start a second job! Maybe search for requests and make some phone calls and don't give up. There is a job made especially for you, but think of it that way; if you don't seek it now then, when? And if you don't take it, then who will? So be optimistic and fight for your dream.
Look at your past with pride, and look at your future with enthusiasm! know that a swashbuckler can be a billionaire only if he DECIDED, and it's not a fairy tale, you can find a lot of real stories based on that fact.
You will have many obstacles on the way, not least of these being your own self doubt, especially if you have responsibilities and bills to pay, yet remember, you will only fail if you believe you have failed.
Yours truly.
