| You know what has really been making me mad | | | | is only making minimum wage! |
| lately about what everyone has been saying lately | | | | What is making me mad is that I have been |
| about video game testing. It is not what you | | | | reading tons and tons of articles talking about how |
| would think. It is not the people saying "oh video | | | | hard video game testing is, when I just want to |
| game testing, it's the easiest job in the world, and | | | | ask some of these people: have you ever had a |
| it is going to make you rich." Now I do obviously | | | | real job before!? I mean come on, is sitting inside |
| disagree with these people, but it is not what has | | | | your cozy home, making your own hours, while |
| been making me furious over the last couple of | | | | playing video games really that hard? No of |
| days. | | | | course it is not. The only people that think it is |
| Let me give you some background information | | | | hard are the people not willing to work. Do not let |
| first. I am not some video game testing guru | | | | someone that all they do all day long is comment |
| bringing in the big bucks, like what most affiliates | | | | Facebook and answer questions in Yahoo answers |
| want you to think about them. I am just an | | | | tell you what is hard and what isn't. I can tell you |
| average video game tester bringing in enough | | | | right now that while my friend is outside working |
| money to support myself. I make my own hours, | | | | for hours on end in the freezing weather, I am |
| and I am my own boss. I love to play video | | | | only finding bugs in video games in the comfort of |
| games, and I hope to only use testing them as a | | | | my own home. It can get boring I know that, but |
| way to get myself out there. I want to someday | | | | i guess that is where you need to make a choice. |
| actually design the games that all of the people | | | | The way I see it, everyone reading this article |
| reading this article play every day. | | | | wanting to become a video game tester, has two |
| If you do want to become a video game tester, | | | | choices to make. The first choice: you agree with |
| but you do not love video games, please stop | | | | the lazy people in the world that think that one |
| reading this article right now. Go back to working | | | | ounce of work is too much work. Or choice |
| for that boss of your's that does not appreciate | | | | number two: you find out for yourself. Right now |
| your effort. This industry is only for the people | | | | you could just give up before you ever even get |
| that love to play. | | | | started, or you can just try it out. I mean what |
| Back to what this article is actually about, the | | | | do you have to lose? My answer to that is pretty |
| thing that people have been saying that has been | | | | much nothing. I mean yes you might have to pay |
| making me furious. Now I have a college level | | | | like 30 or 40 bucks to sign up, but you will make |
| friend who right now is a wash boy for a car | | | | all of that back on your first job. I think most |
| dealership. Right now he is only making minimum | | | | places, or at least the place that I recommend, |
| wage. He has to work almost fifty hours a week, | | | | offer a money back guarantee if you do not find |
| with no paid overtime. His boss drives him crazy, | | | | a job within the first 30 days. You have nothing |
| and right now he is working outside every day in | | | | to lose and so much to gain. |
| the below zero weather. O yeah did I mention he | | | | |
