lets say youre 1st or 2nd year CS student and want to shift to engineering like mechanical, is there a way like taking extra courses or paying a fee?

recently ive been seeing hundreds of posts of tech layoffs all over the world
There is that factor of AI and oversaturation in the field (which doesn't look like it's going to stop, as even this year, 90% of the people I know are going for a CS degree)
I was genuinely interested in Computer Science and have done a few courses and made a few projects, but I think I need a fallback career in case SWE positions don't even exist by the time I graduate.

So, a question for any final year CS students or those who just graduated:
"What does the local market look like right now, and how do u think it will change in the next 4 years?"
"Which degree should I choose (other than CS)?"
