At the same time, I dont adapt to changes well, therefore I cant keep up with the constant change of technologies. This makes me think I can't be a software engineer in the long run. I'm probably only doing it for its high starting pay and my degree.

Wait, unless I'm misunderstanding you, how does one deem himself to be good at problem solving when the solutions are admittedly derived via brute forcing? Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Are you trying to say you would like to land a SWE job for the high starting salary and eventually transition to a non-techical role, despite knowing that you probably won't be good at your current job as a swe, your lack of ability to adapt and your lack of willingness to address your current issues in terms of keeping up with the current technologies / nurture critical problem solving skills?
... Please try to identify the skills required for business analysts or technical consultants and work towards achieving those skills instead.
