Looking for an internship this summer. Assuming I can get them, what's my best option:
Intern at Blizzard, but as a fucking game tester
Intern at a really obscure company, but as an actual programming intern
Go back to my "real" job from last summer working for a random freelance programmer, making $25/hr or more

Why would you want to be a game tester? Especially one at Blizzard, it's been 6 years since they started making SC2, bunch of lazy faggots.

I wouldn't want to be a game tester, but I wouldn't mind having blizzard on my resume.

Blizzard will look better on the CV. Plus when they ask you what you did you can enhance the truth - they'll never check.

This. Testing is repetitive, mind-straining shit. I'd rather go with something different.

Forgot to mention I'm doing cs at Berkeley, so "really obscure" could still potentially be something awesome. I'll apply for the normal programming intern position at blizzard even though the pamphlet said I wasn't eligible, but yeah, I don't even like playing video games that much so I really wouldn't want to be a tester.
Thanks /prog/!

Punch the Regents in the cunt for me, will you?
Testing is awful. Getting a job as one of a few developers at a really obscure company is usually a dead end. If you can work for a freelancer, do that. You'll work hard but get some great experience, and it's not on your back if the project gets fucked up.
