<p>I've just graduated from school at Academy of Art University in San Francisco. I now, even after $15,000 a year in gov grants, owe $60,000. I was also working part time. I suggest you save up some money, find a photographer that you absolutely loooove their work and bug them for an intern position for 3 months and then look for an assisting job after that.<br>

I am so happy that I went to school, I learned a ton, but honestly you could get the same education and propel your career by assisting someone who is well known and flourishing in the industry. Use the money you would spend on school and take off work for a few months while interning. If you do decide to come back to the US, then you should base where you move on the photographer that you want to work for. If you really want to do it then go for it. You can always take some Community College courses as well to refresh yourself or even an assisting workshop. I live in Los Angeles and SMC and PCC have amazing photography departments. Good luck!</p>

I am in the process of buying a flatbed scanner. I need it to scan

negatives, film, and possibly some papers(occasionlly).

$100-$350.
