Did you ever code before? Is it only your aim to get a job or do you have plans what you want to code?

First let me say that's a long journey if you really want to earn money with coding however it's not impossible. You can start with HTML which is no real programming language. On the other hand you have fast success because you can see what you do. But for real programming (for example if ... then, loops etc.) you will need javascript too. It's also possible to start with python, java or c to learn the basic coding concepts. The lessons here on sololearn are not so difficult to finish at all. But it's very important to practise in the coding playground with your own ideas an if problems will arise you can always come back to the community.

I’m a freshman in college and Im just trying to get a career. I love video games and I’ve build my own computer so I thought software development would probably be my best bet. Ive never coded before and Idk where to start

What level of intelligence would you say using the coding languages need? Is it something anyone can learn? Does it require higher level math?

Well you are at the college ... so it's not a question of intelligence. Almost everybody can learn it. For the most programs logical thinking is more important than higher math.

Gotcha. I think I'm going to start working on it now. Hopefully, if I can master these languages in 4 years, I can land a job when I get out of college. Thank you.
