You need to stop surfing the market for what's good and start looking at what skills you have. Then, take those skills and translate them into a marketable course of study. I'd suggest getting your general education requirements done at a community college first. Focus on diversity so you dabble in fields that may or may not interest you and will give you a better idea on a major to declare for undergraduate.
Then I guess I shouldn't get a major in marketing.

Are you saying marketing isn't a good major/job?

Have you met with an academic advisor yet? Sounds like you could use some one-on-one time with someone to discuss your options, goals and interests.
I wanted to get into marketing, because I was hoping it wouldn't have too much math.
I guess I'll have to settle for a low paying, menial labor job.
If everybody who was bad at math did not go into field that required math, there would be a hell of a lot more jobs open to people like me.
Don't blanket-statement your options just because you're not confident in 1 skill.
Just because my girlfriend makes amazing meals doesn't mean I'm too unskilled to microwave popcorn.

No one is really good at math and you won't be doing calculus on your job.
I am TERRIBLE at math and I was a buyer for a year. There's a differnce between work-related math (all I needed to do was add, subtract, multiply, divide and find %s 90% of the time in excel) and taking a math test. Most on the job math is easy. Unless you are a mathmatician.
But I didn't take Calc in high school. And apparently, you need Calc to get a business degree.
