For the average gamer, whether your platform is PC or Xbox, being a video game tester seems like a dream job. You can do what you enjoy all day and yes, you get paid for it! People may think that this job is a myth and that no one ever becomes one. The reality is that companies that sell video games need the opinion of an “expert”. They’re not looking for people coming out of college to tell them if gaming is any good, they want people whose lives revolve around gaming and who can also give them good information.

So what are some of the advantages of this job?

Get a sneak peek: How would it feel to play the next best game before it hits shelves? Know everything before your friends? In my opinion, that would be very nice.

Be the best in the game: Companies that test their games usually start at least six months before release to fix the things that the testers may think are better or patch the bugs. Most people get very competitive when it comes to online gaming and a six month head start can really give you a boost. People will be wondering who the heck this amazing player is on the very first day of the game’s release.

· Meet other players – How would you feel if you met some people who share the same interests as you? Sure, there are millions of people who play games online, but getting your coworkers involved can make work time fun and plenty of social interaction will ensue to make the day even better.

Do what you love – This is the most obvious. Most people aren’t overly enthusiastic about their job. They worked very hard in school to achieve this and came home absolutely exhausted. You are doing what you were already doing and loving all day. He takes pride in his work and also showed a lot of appreciation for his expertise.

In conclusion, this is the dream job of many people. Spaces are limited, but if you get in, enjoy the good life! To get a job, some education is required. I recommend looking for an IT school so you at least have something on paper. Search for online positions and job classifieds. If you get into a big company, you’re set for life. Not only does he have his dream career, but it also pays well. You would be very surprised.
