Someone said "You have no passion, You are just in a rat race"

I was talking to someone and they asked me why I don't have time.Then I told them I am preparing for jee. They said why are preparing for jee when you have no passion about anything, you don't know anything about engineering you are just someone who is in a rat race. I feel like it's true I never thought about engineering after tenth and I still don't know anything about Btech or engineering. I told them that I just want a good college with good environment and they said there are many colleges you can get without jee as well.I don't understand what to say I just love pcm so I took it and what's wrong with me wanting a good college with my efforts?? What r your thoughts on it
