Should I shift course now??? Currently Chemical Engineering student?

Kinda long but I really need your opinions thank you.....

See I am currently a third year Chemical Engineering student(incoming 4th year this coming semester but because I failed a crucial subject I'll be delayed). I don't know if I should shift course now or what. I am actually thinking of shifting to Mechanical Engineering.I am really confused now. Well I have already repeated several subjects due to some failures but everytime I repeat a subject, I find out that I could really do it because during my second take I could get more than a passing mark in those subjects even without studying the lessons again. People (who graduated from chemical engineering and others too) say that Chemical Engineering is one of the toughest courses there is but I shouldn't shift courses anymore because I have a bright future there .But because I have failed a subject again I don't know if I should shift already. I don't really like some of the people in our department including some faculty too. I guess I am being intimidated. My mother says that she will support me in whatever decision I will make but my father doesn't seem to support me both ways. I fail he gets mad, I shift he gets mad its making me more confused though.

I really don't want to fail anymore. But repeating my subjects, I know I can do it. If I shift I'll have to adjust again. If I don't I might get more delayed because of failures. I don't really even know what a Chemical engineer does.... What if I don't like the future I'll be? If I shift, what if it is not what I really want??? PLEASE HELP ME DECIDE.. enrollment is just a few days and I really don't know what to do.. I just feel so lost

    Sadly, if you do not even know "what a chemical engineer does" at this point, you should take a year off, travel, work, or just give your father a royal pain (since he is not being helpful at all...) and figure out what a chemical engineer does, if that is what you want to do, and if not, then what you really want . Most people feel lost because they are. You get lost when you are pushed along a path in life that you neither chose nor desire. Stop doing what others tell you is "best for you" or the "right" path, and make some decisions for yourself. Read a good book. Join the circus. Join the army. Do whatever you want to do, not what someone else tells you to do. Good luck!
