dont really wanna do game testing, my mate does it and it drives him mad.

sounds like a great job, but testing a game to find holes in levels etc isnt fun day after day.

Wont get a job like that mate.

Either look into programming, or physics.

Ring the developers up and ask what kind of qualifications etc.

I know some universities are starting to do it.

Games indusry is worth millions, just got to get your foot in the door and move around from there.

Agreed.

I sent 150 email for a summer job between then and uni.

Got two replies.

Make up a CV and a good cover letter.

Or, ring up and kind of put them on the spot

Just do a mint covering letter telling them your background, love of computer games and the stuff you know so far.

Tell them you realise you're not that experienced but more than willing to learn, etc.
