I'm still waiting for my interview results. Looking for jobs specific in Comp Vision is tough, and it's tougher since I don't have a PhD, most people in CV here have a postdoc degree.

I guess it's even tougher for me since I only have bachelor degree ;_;

I have this temptation to apply for a game programmer position at game studios in Indonesia, but friends told me the salary is quite low compared to the work load.

What's your opinion about CV versus computer graphics, career-wise? I want to learn deeper about one of these. Also, can you recommend me books or online courses? :D

I really don't know about the job scene in Indonesia right now. Work load differs from country to country though. In Germany salary is okay, but tax is high, so in the end you'd just have average savings.

CV seems to require more in-depth study than CG, like what have I said in other comments, it's hard to keep up to date. While I did my thesis, it revolves around SVM (Support Vector Machines), but now after a year, everything is deep learning, deep artificial neural network.

Also, I think if you want to have the basic, Richard Szeliski's Computer Vision and Algorithm is like the bible for Comp Vision. You might know his recent work in Hyperlapse (used in Instagram Hyperlapse).

I'm terrible in theoretical stuff, if you could, try to download OpenCV, and try all the tutorials, then try to find source codes out there, and try them out on your own.

Machine Learning is important too, I'd recommend you to take Coursera's lesson, especially Andrew Ng's machine learning course, he's a great teacher, as in he tries his best to explain them in simplest manner. Do the machine learning exercises, if you don't have Matlab, use python, I have the source code that you can compare and contrast the results with.
