I have been thinking about going to a computer and game design college when I get out of HighSchool and such. I have read about being a beta tester but there isnt much on how to become one or what to do to prepare. The college will be for computer, game and art design.

I don't know...
And I don't like being a beta tester- when the final game comes out- its lost some of its magic on you.
Thats what happened to me with WarCraft 3: Frozen Throne. I beta tested the hell out of it, and even got on Blizzards "A list" so to speak (which meant I automatically got to beta test WoW.). The problem was, I had no desire to play the game. Sure, it had the most powerful campaign editor ever seen by the unsuspecting public...but it just wasn't the smae.


PS: I still bought the game. I'm a loyal Blizzard fan- and I'm with them until the end. StarCraft Ghost shouldn't pose much of a threat to Halo 2- but it should draw many PS2 fans that can't buy Halo 2. And like Bungie- any game Blizzard makes should be great. I've already pre-ordered Halo 2 and SC Ghost.

You'd have to become a microsoft employee no doubt. Unforunatly, this involves the removal of your soul, not to mention brainwashing.
