It is true! Although many people believe that video game tester jobs are bogus, that is not the case as not only can you get a job making decent money playing games all day long, but you can also make a pretty successful career out of it.

The question is: Where do you find a job testing games in the video game industry?

Well, it is easier than you may think, but first need to make sure this is something you really want to do.

I know, you think I am crazy. Why wouldn't you want to play video games and get paid for it?

A lot of reasons. First, if you are not extremely passionate about gaming, then it is probably not for you because when you are a video game tester you are playing games literally all day long and sometimes at really weird hours of the night depending on the company. Still sounds interesting? If you said yes then, lets continue.

Secondly, you will probably end up playing games you don't like or you are not even interested in on occasion. Remember now, I am not trying to make you not want to be a game tester, I am just stating the facts here, only the truly passionate gamers with an interest in making a career in the video game industry will want to do this.

Lastly, your pay won't be very good in the beginning, perfect for a student, but it can turn into a struggle for others. All and all though, if you are truly dedicated to getting your foot in the door for one of the big time companies like Nintendo or Rockstar, then this is a perfect way to get on your way to an awesome video game career.
