Pire, "I am not one of you in that I don't have that uncertainty in life. I am actually on the other side of this debate; i.e. have employed people who have returned from the states or UK in Nepal."

I actually selected like for this post because it is a piece that we normally don't get to read. it is a piece that shows arrogance and stupidity of an educated person. As buddha said, the only thing that is certain is the uncertainty, however pire seems to believe it does not apply to him. This thread is not about who should go back to Nepal to develop and who should stay in the USA to not be a burden of a progressive society lead by the smartarses like pire dai.. don't mediocre students have families? and just being a mediocre student does not mean that you're mediocre in intelligence as well.  just because they have low gpa or they went to OK  for schooling that makes them a mediocre for life? well , maybe they did not know how to lie in the application saying they were poor from some village in Nepal to land in an ivy league and that is the reason they probably had to work hard like hell to survive let alone get good grades but that does not mean they are not smart. I would actually give first priority to someone who is hardworking and honest and who have real time experience. One irony about business world is most businesses are started/owned by people who have not earned college degrees and people like some we know here work for them and brag of being smart. 
btw, who is this new bill gates in Nepal i would really like to know...
