I used to work full time as a video game tester. I quickly rose through the ranks and eventually was in charge of the quality department for a small software development company. I would encourage those of you out there who enjoy games to become a game tester. Often the wages are relatively poor to start out with, but it opens doors to future possibilities.
Making a career is about meeting people and making connections. Becoming a game tester can be a good start in that direction. When I was hiring game testers I would turn to friends and acquaintences that I knew through my relationships in gaming either table top or people I knew from LAN parties.
Gamertestingground offers a program that can help you get into the business if you are interested. This is one way to start a career or earn a few extra bucks to help get ready for college. Many of us spend hours playing anyway, and if you are like most serious gamers I know then you have the intelligence to put those hours to good use.
I know this is a bit off topic from the norm (hence appearing on an off day) but I do encourage you to try out gamertestingground if you have the inclination to put some of those gaming hours to good use and become a game tester.
As always, remember to have fun!
