Don't worry about this GAAP crap ( I know what that is as I was 2 classes shy of graduating with an Accounting major ). You won't necessarily have to work as an Accountant back home. Many banks and financial institutions will happily hire a personnel who's got a degree from the states. Surely, the U.S. has taught you more than what your academic criteria required. I bet you're more mature as a person and yada yada.

Anyways, I get the gist of what you're saying. After 4 gruesome years ( in many cases 5 ), thoughts of returning back could be nightmarish, especially amidst all this turmoil and all this civil war junk. Who wouldn't want to have a 50-60k/ month paying job but at the same time, who'd wanna live in such a chaotic environment. Loadshedding, water shortage, pollution and outrageous inflation don't help too.

Ironically, despite wanting to go back and work in Nepal, I can't go back. Despite having a permanent status and having a bachelor's degree on hand, I'm finding "jobs" hard to comeby and I'm forced to work in a sector that doesn't require any academic qualifications at all.
