Want to Get Paid to Play Video Games all Day?


As new video games like the Call of Duty series, the Fallout series, and more continue to come out, new ideas are constantly being tried out to see which new effects, graphics, or controllers will turn into the next 'Guitar Hero.' But all these ideas need testing, and a new market is slowly expanding for people to have the chance to be paid to literally sit around and test out new video games. The testers give feedback, make suggestions, but mostly just play through games all day.

Although this may seem like a pretty sweet job, it is not for everyone, and because it is the dream job of many teenagers and adolescents that grow up playing video games, the competition is pretty steep. Even colleges now have degrees such as interactive media, over 200 colleges and universities across the United States have degrees that lead into these careers.
