Going back is a big, big , BIG decision. Please be prepared for the unexpected. Remember, you are going back to your country, but you were trained in the US, and you have come to take certain things for granted here. Very few who have gone back have been able to stay there and be succesful. You can still survive here with low paying jobs that do not require high level education or training, and those are still available. This economy will turn and with it the employment situation will improve. The question you have to answer is if you are willing to stick it out until it does?

Of course, if leaving the US and then coming back is not an issue,  then right now is probably the best time to see if you can indeed make it in Nepal. You get to take a year long break to be with family and friends, and at the same time you get to see first hand what it takes to cut it in a country where productivity is confined to 4-6 hours of daily power you get.
