I'm Still In School, And I Would Like To Work In Games. I Was Wondering Which Subjects I Need To Do Best In To Get This Job. I'm Year 8 So I Have Time To Get Good In These Things. I Mean Working In Making Games not Previewing.

Many community colleges and universities have video game design as a specialty under the IT departments.

I don't think you have a whole lot of choice in what you take until college anyway.
But schools usually have a counsler of some sort, you could talk to them. Tell them this, and maybe they can suggest areas you should focus on.
There will probably be some sort of technical clubs available once you get into high school, that would be good if you can find one. Once again, the counselers should be able to advise you.

Mathematics, computer programming, and in your particular case, writing courses - so you'll know more about spelling, grammar, syntax, and the importance of knowing when to use capital letters.

Thanks Everyone. I'm Already Designing A Game And I Hope One Day I Can Get It Made. If You Guys Have Any Ideas For Chracters, Or The City Name, Or Anything Like That, Please Feel Free To Post Them. Its Going To Be A Free Roaming Gangster Game, Like The Warriors, bBut The City Is Your PlayGround, Its Set Nowadays, and There Are No Guns In Gang Warfare. Only Fists.
