What is a Software Test Analyst?
Without testing the world would be in chaos. Planes would crash, your favourite apps wouldn't work properly, the games you enjoy playing would all be super glitchy (as fun as that can be sometimes, you don't want it all the time).
Everything we use has to be tested in detail because if someone can use it incorrectly or abuse/exploit it, then they will.
Your work must be detailed and organised to assure test coverage, but you also have to have a great imagination to perform obscure tests that can find defects otherwise they could wreak havoc on the released software.
Becoming a tester is an extremely rewarding career that you can gain great rewards in and can also lead to other business or technical careers that you aspire to in your future.
