It's sad and yet so funny to see the new game testers getting eaten alive because they have no knowledge of what to expect when it comes to game testing.
So many people get caught up on the money side of things and don't take the time to research what they're getting themselves into. It's completely understandable...why $10 to $50 and hour would be a dream come true for me. It's the perfect dream job.
That's probably exactly what goes through the mind of someone who find out about game testing. We'll hate to break it to you but there definitely are some pros and cons to game testing. Your main objective is to not get eaten alive by the multi-billion dollar industry but to rather survive and come out with a few hundred bucks in your pocket.
If you just dive right in, I give you my word, you'll come out but will never want to dive back in again. So what can you possibly do?
Research!
Take the time to find someone who's already in the industry. People are fairly nice. A lot of them will pass on stories of how they became game testers and most of them will be rooting for you.
Here's something for the shy gamers out there. If you don't feel comfortable talking and asking questions, visit this website:

It's an extremely helpful site. It teaches you everything from top to bottom. Not to mention has one of the, if not the biggest, list of companies that hire game testers. That alone is such a huge PLUS! Of course it'll cost you, but trust me; you'll love yourself for buying it.

Once you’ve completed a game testing assignment from any company or publisher, you should always consider it just the beginning of your relationship with them. After your assignment has been sent in, make sure to contact the company and ask them if they received your material. Also, make sure to ask if there is anything you can do to improve your game assessments for them.
