Plan on some sort of entrepreneurship (anything, literally anything), no matter how small it is to start with.
1) If you are interested in IT sector, there are many things you can achieve in Nepal (which perhaps are difficult in the US for an immigrant). You don't have to be an IT/Computer Science/Eng. major yourself, but if you can make a team of two/three(from IT field), it would be better for you to begin with. They will handle the technical side, while you take care of the management/financial side.
2) If I were you, I would do a thorough research on the viability (cost-benefit and all) of Fast Food Joints in Nepal. There ain't many, are they? Not even McDonald's. No pizza stores too (as far as I can recall). At least no big brand names yet. There are quite a few in India though: Mc Donald's, Dominos and the likes. Contact them. See how you can establish a franchise or two in Nepal (in Kathmandu/Pokhara or other major cities). Don't worry about investments. There are banks and many finance companies to help you financially in the beginning.
3) Another idea could be Day Care Centers/Preschools. Again, not many out there I believe. Even if there already are, not many good ones for sure. Preschools in the US are excellent. Do some research on how they work. Life has changed in KTM. With both parents working, kids need custodians to be looked after.
As I said, anything that has some potential in the market.
If you are thinking of working for others, there won't be much incentive/perk for you. It will only lead to a disappointment/frustration in the long run. So, better be prepared to take some risk than repent later.
G'luck!
