Let me start this post by saying that ever since I was five, I have loved playing computer games of all types. I can’t remember a time in my life when I never had a games console of gaming pc. I spend several hours per week playing, but mostly see it as an unproductive use of my time. Well, last night I found Dan’s blog about how to become a video game tester and have to say it was very interesting indeed. He is a full time games tester and gets paid to play games for a living, sounds like heaven to me.
After reading every post on his blog, I decided I probably would not be able to live my dream life as a video game tester, but it was still interesting none the less. It just goes to show how many options there are out there for people looking for gainful employment, all you have to do is keep your eyes open, and keep an open mind. You don’t have to rot away doing the traditional 9 to 5 job until retirement.
