Are you sure you suck at math? I used to think I sucked at math (now I think I'm merly bad at it). Turns out I suck at numbers. I can't get a feel for them. Manipulating equations and such though I found quite easy back when all that was fresh in school.
As for career advise, depends on what you want to do: There is not much use in learning calculus if you end up in astatistics-heavy field like data science. I'd say figure out what kind of computing you want to work with and see if there is a specific part of math that are useful there, if there even is one.
I've done work for finance and never had to go much deeper than simple multiplication.
I thought I sucked at math for a long time, reinforced because my math teachers in school believed it too.
Turns out I suck at spatial thinking. I can’t manipulate things like plots and curves in my head and they don’t help me understand mathematical principles. Algebra and logic though come easy to me. So learning math became an exercise in translation.
That is to say, please don’t think you suck at math and definitely look at different ways to learn the same concepts if something is not clicking.
Agreed, I've used trig once since I left college for an image manipulation problem. Discrete mathematics, Algebra, statistics, and depending on the roles ... linear algebra are far more likely to be useful.
