I suppose the question really is Which qualifications are important to qualify for a career in software testing?
Qualifications important for a successful career in software testing include a good understand of the software development cycle and a good understanding of the underlying problem domain (e.g. G3 when testing software in relation to G3-base telephony, etc). A software tester doesn't need to qualify as a software engineer, but will typically require software skills, for example in order to create and scripts for automated testing. Other skills, such as knowledge of internet or database technologies or basic hardware skills are generally useful.
As with almost every profession, excellent team-working skills and language skills (both written and spoken) are always essential.
