A career in video game design may involve video editing, designing and coding, as a video game designer is responsible for developing the code, graphics, sound and story of a game. Depending on the game's platform, a designer may also need to develop compatible versions of the game for PC, console and mobile devices. Depending on the role, a video game designer may need to have experience with coding languages such as C++, Javascript or HTML, as well as design and animation platforms such as Adobe Photoshop and Maya. Video game designers may also need to have a good understanding of game theory, game design theory, game development processes and game design best practices.

I don't know of a single career that combines video editing, video game design and coding. But you can explore the following career paths:
* VFX Artist. These are the guys that do special effects for movies (and sometimes video games too, I guess). You'll get to do lots of stuff related to video editing, but the work is rather more low-level (tracking points, making mattes, stuff like that).
* Computer Vision: In this field, you won't be doing video editing, but you'll be analyzing lots of videos (usually live) to make computers "understand" what they are seeing. This path involves *a lot of Math* and coding.
* Computer Animation. Think of the guys working at Pixar. They do 3D models and use Motion Capture tools and Animation to create movies. There are two aspects of this job: the Rendering and the Video Editing. You probably won't get to code too much here.
* Video Games: Either you can work as an Engineer in this field (creating and updating game engines), an artist (which also involves special effects, but also creating 3D models and textures), or in the design area (User Interface, Playability, etc).
* Other: I'm _sure_ there's got to be other career paths out there, this is just what I could think of at the moment.
Regardless, you'd do well to visit the web pages of the various companies in these fields and browse their job openings and internships to get an idea of what you'll be doing -- and what's required to work there.

Hi Jaylen,
A lot of fields require those skills, but not all jobs ask for them. Tech, Video Games, TV, The Film Industry, Advertisement, Medical, Education, etc; are just some of the fields that will ask if you have a degree in those skills.
