If I only had a mathematical brain...

I'd love to program.  I really would.  But my mind isn't cut out for it.  I've seen people who think mathematically, and I'm not one of them.  I keep  getting stuck on Trig due the to stress from each lesson that adds on top of the previous lesson.  Inane equations within equations, combined with my short memory span and occasional absent-minded backwards thinking means I have to try three times harder than someone who has math "come naturally" to them.  Instead, I have a more creative mind, endlessly thinking and imagining.  I believe this the opposite end of some spectrum, as these math wizards I've met seem to be less creative and more mechanical in thinking.

I was thinking of Game Designer as a possible option, as I can appreciate programming and understand it overall, but can't do the code for shit.  But with creativity I could create a design that programmers can work with.  The only problem is I'll be trying to work in a computer field without a CS degree, and would get little respect for not knowing the details of what a programmer is talking about.

Listen to this guy. A game designer makes up the rules of a game, the programmers change those rules into code. What you need to know is game theory, and what kind of activities are inherently "fun".
You think the artists making game models and textures or sound effects all have CS degrees?

I disagree. There are still plenty of decent games made by small teams. Take Serious Sam, Live for Speed(just 3 guys somehow made one of the most realistic driving sims to date), or any one of the dozens of doujin game groups.
They may not be on the bleeding edge of graphics, but they can still make a buck and score the occasional hit.
