Recently, I have seen a few interesting discussion threads discussing pros and cons of "Permanently going back to Nepal". I have been trying to research the job markets and situations in Nepal through google searchs but with no luck. Many posts in these threads were more helpful than the scant infos you find one the internet. I would like to suggest the administrator of this site to post some anonymous surveys and polls regarding this topic and disclose the results to the sajha visitors. SAN dai/ NAS dai, I don't know who it is, but would that be possible? I think this would be a great source of info for a lot of people. I know sajha has a decent population from the demographics I have questions for. Why not leverage this site for the purpose?

I am particularly thinking of 2 sets of survery questions-one for people who have already returned to Nepal and the other for ones thinking of going back. I don't have good questions in mind right now but I guess, that's where you guys can help. How about we discuss the questions here and the hopefully the administrator could put it up in the front page.

Here are few a I have in mind. These are just some random questions that came out of my mind. Just brain stroming at this point...Would need to be edited later....

1. What degree did you have in the foreign land? Which country? Which field?
2. Are you currently employed in Nepal? Which sector (in Nepal) do you currently work?
