Don't worry, when IT students get those moments they look at construction ads. It's turtles all the way down.
Just graduated from college in IT, I know a thing or two because I've seen a thing or two. I originally wanted to do creative communications but couldn't get past the entrance exam.
Knowing that ultimately I'll never be punished for my choices beyond the consequences I face in my lifetime makes my choices to be kind and put in extra effort to increase the good in the world mean a lot more to me. I laugh in the face of the absurd and choose to derive meaning from not letting it stop me from doing what I can.

I don't have much to offer in terms of answers but I enjoyed your musings OP, I hope whatever choices you make are fulfilling to you.
Personally all I have to add is that we're all just monkeys chilling on a rock whizzing through space until we suddenly aren't. If it makes you happy and it doesn't hurt anyone I don't see the harm. Use the time the way you want, may you die free of regrets.
I think the joke is you don't understand enough physics to make that your gig, so you go engineering as the backup plan. Source: am IT, we're everyone's backup plan when their initial goals fall through
