How Good at Math Does a Programmer Need to Be? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm working my way to a CS degree and am currently slogging my way through an 8-week Trig course. I barely passed College Algebra and have another Algebra and two Calculus classes ahead of me.

How much of this will I need in a programming job? And, more importantly, if I suck at Math, should I just find another career path?

That's a really ridiculous example though. No one is doing that.

I'm doing that. I know several others who have as well.

But when you are talking about professional games development that is a very specific thing they almost no one is doing.
