Questions about pursuing Mechanical Enginnering as a career for school Assignment

First time poster and on mobile ao apologizes for formatting.

Hi all, for an assignment in Social studies I have to pick a potential future career and talk about the advantages and disadvantages of my chosen Career so I picked Mechanical Emgineering,

I picked this because My father is a mechanic so I think I know my way around cars and other things of that sort, and I enjoy making things, the idea of creating/designing something on cad or just winging it and doing a hands on job to make it sounds appealing, how ever I hate maths but I'm not bad at it, so I wanted to know how important are my math skills in real world engineering or is it more of a thing you need to get a degree.

Also I just want to know what are things you like about your job and what are things you dislike, where do you see engineering In 10 years and what will change, and what sort of qualifications are helpful and what you actually do on a daily basis.

I live in NZ for context but really want to move to the U.S or Germany in the future,

Sorry for the long post and please correct me on any misconpections I might have.
