You cannot expect to live the American Dream without proper education or proper work experience.
People in Nepal have a false illusion of leading a superior life in the US compared to that in Nepal. Life's a bitch in the US. No one cares about anyone. It is an independent living and the bills never end - rent, grocery, car payments, insurance, gas, phone bills, utilities. Life is not easy here.
As I have seen, people who win the DV Lottery are usually doing slave labor in the US. Except for a few, most of the DV winners are either working at restaurants, gas stations or working for Indians. They exploit the crap out of you. Working 50+ hours every week with minimum pay on a hourly basis.
People coming from remote areas of Nepal, who can't speak English, are the ones who suffer the most.
- they can't find a job due to lack of English
- even if they do, its usually with minimum pay
- they can't go back to school either
- even if they do, they have to start from scratch
Young people (18-25) who come here are running after the dollar as soon as they get here. All they want to do is "tanna ghanta hanne". Week in, week out, work as much hours as you can - buy latest gadgets, buy a car, and show-off. I have met very few people who have actually completed a Bachelors degree from the US who arrived here winning the DV. And for those who do, the opportunities are endless.
Some of my friends who came here winning the DV and have completed their Bachelors are making ~$60k-100k a year. Others, are still working in the same gas stations, same restaurants as before and are making $10-$15 an hour.
