Not necessary. Math is required only by Software Developers especially those in Operating Systems/System Software/Microprocessor Programming. Even in Software development many Software tools are available for the Software engineers to use it. These tools replace the need for Math Knowledge among engineers.
Math questions are asked only in very few interviews. Basically the recruiters look for "LOGIC" knowledge.

NO. I am interested in becomming a computer programmer and the stuff I have read says NO! (I am Reading works of Donald Knuth...) naturally some branches of computer science - such a compiler design - require specialist math knowledge, but that can be learned like everything else.
go for it!!

Not entirely, some computer jobs require a lot of English, like receptionist and whatnot but if you were going towards a job like programming, then yes, it does use a lot of math (like 0s or 1s, etc.).

Programmer? Yes, you'll need to know business functions in regards to cash flow and how all that works to be able to create usable data. If you goal is to make games? You need to know TONS of math.
Networking and the such? Not too much, just basic stuff should get you by.

You can be on a helpdesk with virtually no knowledge of the english language, math, or even computer repair.

No but more and more of them require you to live in India, because that's where all of those jobs are going.
