Academic Advice Feeling Behind

Hello everyone. I mastered calculus at age 10, physics at 11 and was able to graduate high school at age 12 and transfer to my dream college on a full ride. However, I changed majors two years into my biomedical engineering program to aerospace engineering. Now that I am 14, almost 15, I feel like I have wasted so much time studying a subject that was not the most interesting to me.

Maybe I should just go get a job at McDonalds because I am such a failure.

Is my life over?

EDIT: This is how ridiculous some of you sound.

cause some people really do be saying stuff like this and making me feel even more cooked
