lol Iv been testing for about 2 and half years now. I actually started out on the PS2 for the first two months. It wasn’t all that bad. My team was small and it was a fun project to work on. The project and the company you work for along with the lead you have is what makes the job enjoyable or hell. Iv worked 65+ hours a week. 28 days in a row without a day off. It can really suck. But those long days and work weeks ain’t so bad when you have fun co-worker by your side. If you have an anal lead or work for *cough*EA*cough* you’ll want to quit in 5 minutes though.
