funkybuddha,

ain't u flying little high? tell me how many nepalese go to MIT, Havard etc? to go there, u have to be outstanding and Nepal's education is not on that level to produce such minds. however, there are few who are in these colleges but very FEW. majority of nepalese grad struggle with their vocabs and communication. i have seen and met several of such individuals. if u can, u can provide the average for a college like Texas A & M etc? do u know how much they for postdoc in MIT? just curious.

i started with $9,200 for nine months. and after 4-5 yrs they raised some. don't give wrong ideas. we nepalese have a tendency to exaggerate things. 

i would love to go where the stipend is $32 K/yr.
