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. |
Don't give people a false sense of what CS/CE is about. You do NOT need math at ALL UNLESS you are in graphics/algorithm related fields.

For game programming specifically, you will need to know at least a little math, or making 2d games is as far as you'll get. Most of the programming for 3d games requires at least some math knowledge such as matrices, quaternions, etc.
