Developers make bad testers, but software engineers make excellent testers. or maybe developers that can't test aren't such a good developers to begin with.
I do agree though that starting on the testing path is a terrible idea, but not because the skillset is different, but because testers are usually the maids of the software development house, is really difficult for a tester to be taken seriously, the same way that quality assurance isn't really taken seriously.
