I can relate. My undergrad is in engineering as well and after 6 years of jumping from job to job I realized I didn't care for engineering.

_What Should I Do With My Life?_ by Po Bronson really showed me that it was/is okay to not be happy with my job and to make a change.

I've written about my career changes here [0] and here [1].

My advice to the "directionless and lost" is to find a job that has meaning beyond paying the rent and food, and that you enjoy, but gives you enough time to pursue your other interests. This helped me tremendously
