Thumbs Up Video Game Testing

Hi guys, I'm a 16 year old male high school student living in southeast Detroit, MI, USA. I'm looking for a good job, and I was turned onto video game testing. I understand it'd be best as a summer job, and I was wondering:

Where can I find one?
Is training needed?
What steps do I need to become a tester?



I've been playing games well over 8 years of my life (and I'm not too shabby if I may add) and this would be a wonderful job. Any help on overviewing this field is much appreciated. Thanks guys!

Re: Video Game Testing

maybe you think these jobs are lots of fun, maybe they are fun, but don't forget, they are very hard indeed, a game tester not only play games for fun, but he need to see if it has any flows in it, so you need to be a pro, you need to see if the game's engine is good, the graphics are good, no flaws, etc...
it's a JOB!!!
good luck finding one anyway
