Education and Career Forum

I am currently pursuing my engineering in one of the top colleges of Karnataka. But now I don't have any interest in continuing it as I always dreamt of being teacher but my father considered it unfit for me, hence I had to chose engineering out of no other choice. But, now after completion of my 1st year, I failed in 3 subjects, which has made me go depressed alot because this is the first time I have ever failed in any subject in my life. I am totally broken inside and dont have courage to face it anymore. I am thinking to quit engineering now and join teaching profession.

So, my question is can I drop my engineering course now and join teaching profession? If yes, then what are the required criteria for me to do so?

PLEASE REPLY TO ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR ME AS IT CAN BE THE TURNING POINT OF MY LIFE
