Step away from the medical studies and drug trials. There’s a better way for college kids to earn some extra cash these days. That is if you go to LSU.
 

Video game publisher Electronic Arts is opening a new testing site at the university, the first of its kind in the U.S. That’s great news for students who can now tell mom and dad that playing Madden is their job.
 

Forbes.com explains:

The EA center will create 20 full-time jobs and more than 200 part-time jobs for the students who test the games, with hiring to begin next month and annual payroll expected to hit $5.7 million within two years, officials said.

"I wish there had been a program where they paid college students to play video games when I was in college," the governor said at the announcement event at the state Capitol.

 

Oh Mr. Governor, you sure said it.
 

If Bobby Jindal had gotten paid to play video games all day, maybe the political leader would have really made something of himself… You know, instead of just becoming the youngest current governor in the U.S. and the first elected Indian American governor ever.
