Post-lasik, you may need correction for near vision. I have not had the surgery but my wife needed reading glasses after it was done (we are over 40). She was informed of this effect before-hand; as best as I can tell the effect is to shift your whole focus "up" +N diopters, so if you were a little farsighted before you will be more farisghted later.
My wife and three other friends who have had the surgery have reported no problems related to night vision and using a CRT. Another "husband-of-wife's-coworker" reportedly is suffering halos at night but as I hear it he went to the equivalent of "Akbar and Jeff's Lasik Hut". (This is not a procedure where you necessarily accept the low bid.)
I haven't had it done because of the near vision issues (even though I keep my CRT 2 1/2 feet away) and because I am -7,-8 diopter and the chances of still needing glasses after the surgery seem to still bein the neighborhood of 10% as far as I can tell.
I am sure that over there just as here anybody with half a brain can get a job doing just about anything more demanding than working the phones at NSI.
Assuming their fucked-up phone system doesn't disconnect me first I've gotten variously-accented people with Chinese and American and Indian and all kinds of accents and the only thing they have in common is that they are all incompetent to do anything except type stuff into the same webinterface NSI presents to the rest of the world.
Except for the effect on your first job, it doesn't matter much what you major in. I have a BS in Civil Engineering, my first job was as a photographer, the I got a master's in Operations Research, and now I am pimping as a consultant. My co-pimp in my current contract has a master's in Theatre Arts.
It does matter somewhat that you finish and get some kind of degree, maybe not ultimately but it will make it easier to get hired until you have a track record.

30 fps is 33 thousand microseconds, an eternity.
Just how does a huge Casino approach this problem, exactly? I betcha they use some kind of analog tape jukebox.
In my humble experience we've just rotated tapes every day, and reused them after one week, then we had only 9 cameras.
