Hello i do not have the skills to do such a thing but my dream job is to design video games and create them on my own one day i have so many ideas lol. What kinds of schools do i need to focus on so i can start such and endeavor my self one day?

The easiest way to get in is as a programmer. Programmers with design skills can make their own games with some help from an artist. Making demos or prototypes is the best way to show what you can do. Modding other games if you don't have programming skills is another good way to build up a portfolio. Its far more impressive to see things achieved than qualifications, though they help too and often are required.
