@bairaghi, Don't think military personnel are uneducated guys.You have to have at least bachelors or masters to become army officers. To be honest I joined army to get American citizenship.and yeah most people join army for reasons. After I graduated I didn't want to go for consultancy coz I was little bit scared with their job placement procedures. I also didn't want to do asylum coz I was never attacked by maoist in Nepal.So, I had army as my another option and I was grown up in Army family I always had interest joining army.And now I feel glad I joined .no regret at all. Never been deployed to afghanistan or Iraq.

Do they still take f1 students in the army ? Aba yo asylum ra consultancy ko fake resume ko kura Kaha baat aayo. If u r smart enough to be admitted to Stanford or mit, companies will hire u in your undergrad college even before you graduate. Aba bachna Nai Ho bhanne ta Manchhe le yeuta na yeuta baato ta khoji halcha ni. Yaha moti gori, hapsi, bachako ama bihe garera, or nakali maobadi pidit banera kagaz nikalne pani kati chan. Yedi sushant bhai america chirna matrai chaheko ho bhane ta thikai cha, tara Padera ramro subject ma ramro college baat bachelors and masters garna chaheko ho bhane, na aau bhaneko ho. Yaha maile community college ma life waste gari raheko dherai dekheko chu (not me !!!).

@Sushant bro, looks like you are already on the way. I suggest to come prepared to face the reality, as others mentioned. Come prepared for the worst cases. It's not always the place that is bad, different people come with different background hence different struggles. Schools here are definitely worth a try if you are really into studies and not just excited because of what you see in Facebook, Hollywood impressions etc. Come here. Study hard. Work hard. Chill. Be independent; whatever that means. If you stay in Nepal for 4-6 years at your age, someone mentioned undergrad, you will get sucked forever. The age you are on right now is the defining age for what next in your career. If you spend next 4-6 years in Nepal you might not even want to come here after-all. Undergrad time sets a different kind of attachment to the place / people you live on/with. There is always option to go back to Nepal but most do not go that path which I never understood why, dumbfuck is exception, and I hope to meet him when I get back in few years.

@200times_ I have many friends who joined US army. 90% of them did not finish their undergrad, were suffering economically or with their lives. 10% had degrees but either could not land a job or could not convince their employer to sponsor for H1B or GC. While I firmly believe that not everyone has guts to join army, but I also believe that those Nepalese students who joined army did it just to make their life easy (took the easiest route in my personal opinion for immigration benefit). I personally have nothing against those who joined army, but again I do not have any respect for them either (I know probably neither you or I give a shit about this). So in my personal opinion if you can take the easiest route by joining army than SUSHANT can also take the easier route by coming here for master degree. Just my 2 cents.
