Working as a Game Tester

Posted by michael on from the carpal-tunnel dept.

DaytonCIM writes "SFGate.com has a great story on the real life of game testers. 'Life is not all fun and games, though. It's all games -- with little time left for sleeping or eating, at least during the busy months before Christmas. The longest week he has logged was 106 hours, and 60-hour-plus weeks are typical in deadline crunches, he said.'"

    I myself log about 10+ hours a week on games - no pay. My roommate logs about 40+ hours a week - no pay - this on top of a full time job. (I know, I know....) Why are these people complaining again??? The rest of the world has long hours and probably less job satisfaction than these "game testers".
