Have you ever wondered how video game testers are chosen? Or perhaps, you’ve daydreamed about being the first one to play all the newest games, before they’re even released to the public. Becoming a video game tester is one of the best ways to get access to all the coolest games before anyone else you know has the chance to play them. Even better, many video game testers are paid for all of their hard work. If you’re interested in getting paid to play games you’d normally pay to play, you should consider becoming a tester today.
There are plenty of reasons why people want to become game testers, but many will often back away from the opportunity, simply because they don’t have a four year degree. Most people wrongfully assume that a degree in computer science or infotech is needed in order to be paid to test games. This couldn’t be farther from the truth! Highschool grads are often the best choices, and being a video game tester can be a perfect stepping stone for a career in game creation once college has been completed.
You don’t have to be located in a major metropolitan area to be a video game tester. Most of the games can be tested in the comfort of your own home. You will get to chat online with some of the most major names in gaming, and possibly meet them. Best of all, these bigwigs will be the ones who will tell you all the cheat codes, all the easter eggs, and all of the level secrets in each game.
The wages of a video game tester are impressive. Could you imagine how much money you would make if you were paid minimum wage for every hour that you play video games? Believe it or not, game companies will pay up to $50 per hour for game testers to enjoy their games. It’s no wonder why becoming a game tester is such a sought-after job.
The only issue to this dream job is the difficulty of actually getting your foot in the door. You need the perfect resume, the best people to contact, and a list of testing facilities near you. You cannot get the information on all of these subjects without a little bit of help. Matthew Johnson’s “Become A Game Tester” e-book has all the tips and tricks that you will need in order to become a successful game tester at just about any level.
