This is my first time posting something on a forum in 4 years.

I am posting this because I want to adjust my expectations and goals regarding game design.

I am in college in Morocco (Al Akhawayn university). just started my junior year. I am a communications major (school of humanities) and a gender studies minor.

I want to become a video game designer. It is the only career that I am interested in. I have been playing ever since I was 5 and haven't stopped yet.

Currently I don't have any noteworthy skills to become a designer. I don't know how to program (don't really have the patience for it) and I can't draw to save my life.

I haven't tried visual software like MAYA or MAX so I can't comment on graphic design.

So I basically want to know whether my current education is capable of helping me reach my goal. If not then should I take a master's in game design (in the U.S?) or switch my minor to computer science?

I am sorry that this post is long! I look forward to hearing your advice!
