I read that it wasn't really that fun to be a tester back then and especially now. Imagine having to play a level over and over and over again, then having to fill out sheets about what is wrong with it.
And that infamous commercial [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRWvfMLl4ho] really oversold it.

every kid in the 90s wanted to be a game tester once we knew the profession existed.

Can confirm, was kid in the 90s. Sadly the reality of working in the industry did not measure up. Same as being a paleontologist, strangely enough.
