How much math do I need for technical analysis? Right now I'm a university freshman that just finished Calc I and now I'm taking Calc II. How useful of a skill is it to know?

Technical analysis is not based on math. It's about as scientific as reading animal bones and entrails to predict the future.
If you want legit stock forecasting, start reading about Bayesian statistics and stochastic time series modelling.

What does technical analysis entail then?
And how much math would I need for Bayesian statistics? I'm aiming to head into the field of econometrics and just started Empirical Economics I, which is basically low level stats so far (we use Stata).

It basically comes down to using already known indicators + drawing fancy trend lines or any other graphical elements including fibbonaci levels etc.
Create your own indicators and ideas. Mabe look into neral networks (not that in itself it is a great idea but it will get your mind thinking on other approaches)
Also if you have an option to take programming courses that is a neat idea.
If you can load data from files in all formats and know basic programming it gives you an open field for trying out ideas.

Your neural network Bayesian statistics bullshit can't predict when your mum will be sitting on my cock anymore than reading animal bones and entrails could.

It's a line, anything beyond 3rd grade math is hardly useful in speculation.
