But I can do math like Algebra and Geometry, I just haven't experienced Trig or Calc yet and will not have the opportunity to take it since this is my last trimester of high school before graduation.

Being in college doesn't necessarily guarantee that the professors are better teachers (you may have been told this by others; my parents and high school teachers shoved it down my throat). I found myself having my mom send my high school precalc notes up within a week of starting calc 1, because the review that my professor did of basic calculus was extremely poor. I'm not too thrilled with my physics and calc 2 instructors either, but I've found that if you are willing to put in the extra effort, you will have significantly better results than the student who sits there and says "This class sucks, I just need to pass the final." I don't know how it works at other universities, but here we have a lot of extra help available in the form of learning centers and supplemental instruction, and it is very useful for struggling students.

To answer your original question: pursuing one of those degrees wouldn't be a bad idea, as long as you know that there will be some extra effort involved on your part.
