I have been watching this thread for a last few days and I Cant remain without posting some of my experience.

I studied in Australia  and went back to Nepal  and lived in nepal for few years and Now I am in US.

I went to Australia when I was 16 years old to do my high school.After finishing the bachelor degree ( it took me 7 years to finish from 12 + diploma + bachelor  ) i decided to go back to Nepal. I decided because  I  wanted to stay with my family. None     of my relatives   liked the idea of me going back so they said don't come back, yo dehs ma kehi chaina , you will regret etc ect. .MY family didnot  say like that so I went back to Nepal .

After I went back everything was strange for me.But everything became normal after 6 months or so. Only thing I didnot have was friends. All my friends were in either AUSTRALIA OR USA.I started a small company soon after I landed in Nepal. First 3 years was very very hard. and i struggled a lot for rent and staff salary. then  big break came after few years and I made lot of money. I never ever in my life thought I would make this kind of money.

I am currently in USA because of my wife. I travel back and forth and look after my company. Skype has made life easier these days .

anyway  What I suggest is if you think you can do better in Nepal, go for it.   life is not as hard as we think when we are overseas. Sure there are no roads but that thoughts dont come to your mind when you are in Nepal. I still ride my old motorbike when I am in Kathmandu.Imagine the opportunities in Nepal. Nothing is done . you can do anything and make money. sure its hard but if you work hard like in USA  you can definitely find a success in NEPAL.

having said that one of my friends was kicked out from home becasue he didnot have money when he came back from Australia and went to do job in bank for 12 000/ Month. His parents were very very disssponted and kicked him out of the home.So be careful you need family support , its very important , if I didnot have family support for the first few years I would have commited suicide.
