Video Games Designer Education

Would it be hard on the road to become a video games designer?
I’ve always wanted to be a designer of a sort for video games, maybe for some big company. But What education would I need for that? and is it a hard life trying to achieve such a feat? Or can I be trained by certain companies?
I am now interested in being a freelance tester. But I really don’t know where to start looking. Can you help me?
Well theres a lot of different careers to do in a game design company. Theres sound, programming., testing, debugging, texture artists, artists, 2d artists, 3d model artists, environmental artists, lead prgram designer, story, w/e you name it. Basically it depends on what you do. If your a programmer they may require some math skills or special degree levels, if your an artist they may just want to see some of your work in a portfolio, of course they are all jobs in themselves with much different requirements. Acheiving a feat depends on the company. Making a game by yourself is hard and probably takes a while, but making a game like in a game company like Bungie or Ubisoft your on a whole team of people helping to get to the same goal, a finished playable game.
