Okay I'm going to school for programming...computer science engineering specifically. You are going to need to be able to do TONS of math.
I have taken Calculus 1-3, Matrix Algebra, Intro to Numerical Methods (it's how they derive a lot of calculus techniques), Prob&Stats for Engineers, Physics 1 & 2

And if you take any form of computer graphics course you NEED to understand matrices, so matrix algebra is very beneficial.

As far as specifically video game programmers I have no idea and would imagine the salary wages vary vastly from company to company, however, with my degree, I believe starting out it's around 55k a year.
