How do I become a mechanical engineer when I grow up?
I would like to know if mechanical engineering is the right fit for me .my father is a mechanic so I have always been around tools. I do tend to get sidetracked easily so I sounder if that will make it harder to be a mechanic engineer. Is there any certain characteristic I have or should be learning to have?

I also would like to know if there’s any thing I could do to succeed in being a mechanic engineer at this age. I also would like to know if there’s any pros and cons of this job and if there’s anything I should be worried about or not worried about. Thank you for your time.
Is going to School for Mechanical Engineering or Engineering in general worth it?
My name is Eduardo and I go to Crane Middle School in Yuma, Arizona and I have been wanting to be an Engineer since I was in 2nd grade. I like to build things like Legos or like doing hardware and designing projects in school. Engineering is a fascinating career that I find interesting. I was wondering what the best and worst parts of this job would be. What kind of college degree do you need, and are there internships you can do while you're still in school? Do you need to be a math genius to be an engineer, or is being a good problem-solver more important? What is the Engineering Design Process and why do engineers expect their first version to fail? How do engineers choose which materials to use like why use titanium for a plane instead of steel. To whoever answers my question Thank You for this Information
