If I would like to have a career in Game Development (either a Game Designer or Programmer), is it a must to a degree in either Software Engineering or Computer Science?
Seeing that Math isnt my strong suit, I would not fair to well in either of the previous fields since, they both require a high level of mathematics.
Also, what other fields are involved with game creation portion of Game Development that can be a career field?
Thanks,
Any help is appreciated
Getting a job as a programmer requires a degree in computer science. There isn't much way around that.
Read this, it will do you some good. Read it carefully, including the portion that begins: "Will I be able to get into the game industry if I study ..."

If you can show practical skill and talent sometimes a degree isn't necessary but more and more companies are having degrees in Computer Science or equivalent as a requirment.
