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.

Programming, or Computer Science in general, is not really a science. Maybe an engineering, or an art, or actually it's kind of similar to magic, but not a science. Also, Computer so-called Science is not really about computers; not more than physics is about particle accelerators, or biology is about microscopes, or geometry is about surveying instruments.

Read/watch SICP, the legendary programming course, and receive enlightenment.

Also, >>1 :
Don't think Maths people are necessarily less creative. The good ones are very creative. And I partly agree with >>2 : I think programming is also about communication skills; in particular, the skill to communicate processes.

If you want to become a game designer, you need communication skills, and you need a way to define and document game logic and rules, which go way beyond the obvious. To do this, you need to dominate formal languages, for which I'll still recommend you to read SICP.

retarded greasy/pointy-haired self-important MBAs
These individuals, if we can call them individuals, are a disgrace for the human species, wherever they are, wherever they go.

I suck at Mathematics but pogramming isn't about Mathematics most of the time, and hell, as long as you can use a Calculator your fine
For your average COBOL, Java or Visual Basic job, this is correct. But if you want to become a really good programmer and get to do the fun stuff, you better do it the right way.

And oh my fucking god, I've been replying to a 2 years old poster. Fucking bumping motherfuckers, wasting my time.

At least I got to read >>32, which stroke with truth like the fist of an angry god.
