Become a Video Game Tester - Make Money by Testing Games at Home!

Can you imagine doing what you love most and getting paid for it? By becoming a game tester, you can do just that. It sounds like a dream job, right? Well, not exactly! Sure working from home and setting up your own schedule can be great, but this kind of job might get really tedious because you may be asked to go through an entire video game in a matter of weeks or days.

This means testing every single character, map or weapon and sending feedback to the company to report all the glitches and bugs you have found. Sometimes, the programmer may have added a broken code to the game by accident and it will be your responsibility to find this problem and report on it. You may have to put in some very long hours, because there usually is a deadline. For these reasons, you simply must love gaming, for this to work.

Here are a few things you need to know before applying for this job:

* They won't hire you, if you are less than 18 years old.
* A college degree in computer science may help, but is not a requirement.
* At first your salary won't be very high. Inexperienced testers can make $10-$20 per hour. For professional testers things are quite different. They can earn up to $80 an hour.
* If you are a novice tester, it's almost impossible to find a job at a big company like Blizzard, so you may need to start working for smaller companies at first.
* Don't expect to be provided with the necessary devices. You must already own the console that is required to play the games.
