Test Games And Get Paid

Ask the question: \”if you could do anything as a job, what would it be?\” and the response for most gamers will be the same – a video games tester. Little wonder. Play video games all day everyday, and then get paid for the \”effort\”? That has to be one of the sweetest rackets going on.

The common (mis)conception of game testing is that people are paid ridiculous amounts of money for playing video games all day. In truth, the pay is not quite as generous as you might think, and the process is far from fun especially if you do it on a continual basis, yet it\’s still an appealing career choice for many.

First and foremost, it is an often tedious and dull affair and one that involves no shortage of hard work, in fact, you can rest assured that for every 15 minutes of game play you will probably have to spend the next half hour writing up a report on the bugs you unearth during the process. You will need to be thorough and meticulous both in your quest for bugs and glitches as well as in the actual recording of them.
