Usually I would say that changing your focus will not affect your resume as most company's are just looking to see whether or not a dedicated worker with qualifications. Therefore if you switch to software it could actually be beneficial as recruiters will notice that you have decided that you want to persue software over mechanics as this is where your interests lie. Consequently they can see that you are not afraid of taking risks.

While you "hang around" for a bit, perhaps it would be beneficial to take a course in business, both to see if you really are interested in the material and also to show any potential MBA schools that you are interested. Doing well in the course would look very good on your resume. Also, if you have the opportunity to take any leadership positions or such, you could talk about this experience in your application.
