They used to pay people for Alpha testing Single player games. It's much easier to find someone to sue for breaking an NDA aggreement if you have an actually face with the signature.
But, yeah, those days are pretty much gone. The only way one could find a job as a tester would be to prove you had great skill in game design and a nack for finding stuff.
When people test games, they're not playing, they're hunting the same 3 min map 6 hrs at a time.
