Who is this writer and others to set the standard of what is good job and what is not. it is a personal matter. for dv winners from outside of kathmandu, who are barely living their lives in small towns even working in a gas station and earning 2k to 3 k a month means a lot. I've seen a lot of successful hard working Nepalis who have worked day and night and saved enough to buy a house in ktm or spend and opened their own business in usa after 4-5 yrs. they would definately not have if they had not come here.


like someone said up there, other people in gas stations get robbed and killed too. we don't know about them cuz they don't come post in sajha or we don't care. not saying it's ok for our people to get killed but i would rather die trying to work and make money than not taking my chances and be poor and die every day.


most Nepalis working in gas station are students and since they can't work legally their desi owners manupulate them and put them in risk. if we really wanna do something may be we should file a petition to USCIS to grant Nepali students work permtis for economic hardship of the country, which may sound silly but it would be an effort, or make our bros and siss aware of hardship in usa for international students so they won't come. posting message like this is just identifying the problem, we all know what the problem is no need to identify, now let's look for alternatives to fix the problem and pick the best one too.
