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!
