If you suck at math, you SHOULD get a math heavy degree if the subject interests you. That's what I did, with my EE degree. To be fair, it isn't that I sucked at math so much as I didn't know very much of it.

Still, I think you should look at college as a way to learn what you don't know and get better where you suck, rather than bolster your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. For example, I wrote really well in high school and at one point wanted to get an English degree. Then I thought, "I already know how to write, let's put that tuition money to better use" and started considering math and science heavy options.
