Video-game-career position for a person that likes to work on strategy & balance in characters/abilities?

I need help! I want to be in the video-game business, but I dont know where i fit in all of the fancy technical descriptions that job vacancies list or if i even fit at all. I wiil tell you about myself and maybe you know the position I should seek: Here is me: I have no degrees, & hardly any experience with any particular programming tool or language. And i do not wish to ever become proefficient in any either or do anything more than dabble or to tweak something by adjusting some values of a previous made creation/script. I am good with computers in general and have a firm understanding of them. However, i am not a person that likes to get too technical with knowing all of the intricate things behind software or programming languages. I am more of a creative person than a tech-head. My abilities in math is lower than average but i enjoy it to some degree but have no interest in going above agebra 2 level. I have some skills in art and am more of a right-brain than left-brain thinker. a realist. I am a gamer for life with experience playings thousands of games since Atari 2600, Coleco & Vetrex days. I mostly love competitive games like fighting games, card games like Culdcept, Rpg's, and Real-Time-Sategy. Work: I love to problem-solve and draw on my imagination games.. i create full games in my mind and am constantly coming up with ways of improving on existing games. What i would love to do in this business is put together games with a focus on strategy concepts ... cause and effect and work on the balance of characters and their spells/abilities as well as the balance of the worlds/environments and how they relate to those characters. Decide on concepts and designs of these things to remove things and add things that match with the overal design; deciding what fits or what makes no sense. And deciding on adjustments of values of things like how much damage a spell should do, mana cost and how long the player should wait to do it again. Or deciding on the tweaking of a units animation speed to coincide with the crea

1. You will not find a full time career doing that without doing other work. Get a degree in the Creative Arts and you will be able to get a job in the video-game business where you can be creative. Game-play Testers do tweaking and balancing (They write the reports on what is good and bad) and most companies do not have full time game-play testers.
