Most people hate their job, and just do it because they need to make some money to pay the bills. I always believed that a man should do his best to find a career that he loves and money is just a bonus. I was online tonight, and came across a blog by a guy who is a full time video game tester in California. He seems to be enjoying life, and he gets paid to play video games. How cool is that? I am a bit of a video game nerd, and play for about three hours per day, more at weekends. I would love to earn my living by playing games online all day, particularly shooting type online games.

His blog was very realistic though, and it showed that life was not all glamour and fun. Being a video game tester can be hard work, boring, and somewhat low paid. But at the end of the day, the most important thing is to do what makes you happy, right? That’s what I have always thought anyway, and has been the reason I have quite my job many times in the past. I always struggle to hold down a permanent job and have had about 10 different jobs in the last 10 years. Maybe I should become a games tester too, or at least give it a try.
