Games industry is probably one of the few jobs where you can work your way up to the top role from the bottom.
It's still not uncommon at all for executive producers that manage entire projects to have started as game testers that would have been paid a low hourly wage.

Your comment takes a tone suggesting disagreement but the content agrees completely with the parent. If you started in a technical role then you manage to reach a top technical role then you haven't done the "start in the mailroom" progression at all. Are games testers even taken on straight from school at age 16 or do they have to have a degree to get in the door nowadays?
