Hey everyone,
I've always been interested in software development, my step-father wrote code when DOS was the new kid in town :) He designed software for tree nurseries to keep track of their inventory, it's weird to see how far computers have come from the commodore64 we used to play with as kids. Anyway, I saw this article discussing some perks for software testers jobs (http://www.jobs.net/Article/CB-58-Talent-Network-IT-A-Close-Look-9-Facts-About-Software-Testers/), which seem absolutely awesome to me.
So I have to ask: are these perks serious? Is it really that easy to get hired as a software tester? It can't be! *Sigh* I sound like an infomercial, but it seems odd to me that there are so many perks associated with this job, it appears to be exceptionally easy to get into, and it has excellent promised growth in the industry... All great things... But would I get outdated? How much do you have to keep up on the new market developments?
Any and all responses would be appreciated!
