Hey! My name is Brody. I am currently going to school to become a video game designer(life dream). One of our assignments this term is to get an interview with someone in the field that we desire. So I am looking for a video game tester, or designer, who could answer these questions for me. I'm very eager to learn more for myself as well. Thanks for all your help.
QUESTIONS:
What training and education did you have that lead you to this career?
What other "paying your dues" positions did you hold?
How would you suggest that someone break into this field?
What is a typical entry level salary? are they any benefits?
What graphic arts skills are essential to being successful in this field?
What other skills or qualifications would help you get started?
What do you do all day, everyday?
What do you enjoy most about your work?
What produces the most stress?
Where do you see yourself going from here?
Do you work independently or as part of a team?
How do you get clients?

OP, i'm going to Minneapolis Media Institute for my Associates in Game and Art Animation. It's awesome. EXCEPT for the few classes that are irrelevant to what I'm doing. 3D Modeling and Landscape/Level Design is what I'm good at and plan on doing. [Edited on 11.15.2012 11:50 AM PST]
