How To be a Game Tester - The Ultimate Dream Job?

Well, think again; working in the PC Games business is nothing like that. Chances are you'll end up dealing with people who just care about the financial success of the company, with marketing executives who don't give a damn whether the game is good or not because "We'll put two-million bucks behind it and it'll sell like donuts", with programmers who cannot understand why an arcade-style racing game cannot have the intricacies of a complex simulator. Still, you'll get some free games plus a decent salary. Still interested? Good. Full Story at TheTechZone.com

Interesting read, though I'm not sure I'd agree that a $15,000 annual salary is an "obvious plus" for a full-time job...

I agree. It would be cool if I didn't have to take a $50k+ reduction in pay.

15k a year is a joke in my book

Well, If they would work with my schedule, I could use the extra beer money.

What a joke. I wonder how many people would actually go for that?
