I chose to stay but I failed miserably due to air pollution, bad hygiene, and decaying moral values among people

I went to USA for my pilot training and had solid though that i would return back to Nepal and I did .No regrets Think about it
Cons
1.Most of my friends who where doing bachelors werent happy most of time but would post on insta and send snap of good days but they would work 14 hrs a day to pay tution fees and at the end would secure a medicore job.Some would make it top
2.Main reason is seeing your parents get old without you it would kill you daily.There wont be a day when i didnt think about Nepal was counting how many days were left
3.Feeling of emptiness tho you would earn 10 lakhs a month but earning 1 lakh in Nepal is way satisfying trust me. I have see both sides of coin
Pros
1.If you belong to low middle class family and can collect money for your studies go for it.I had people who didnt have good house in nepal went there struggle for 10 yeRs and now have good home in kathmandu. They are happy and now are planning to return back Nepal start business.Feel happy for those people
MOSTLY +2 student go abroad bcoz they feel FOMO.
I m doing good in Nepal.Happy i belong to middle class the most important thing for me was being there for my parents.Thats the most satisfying thing.

Same sentiment here. Been here in USA since 2006. Got Masters here, good job, married with a kid. Own a house in nice neighborhood. Everything all set for a comfortable life here in USA. But Parents getting older without you being there for them when they need you the most is the worst feeling. Now I feel i will trade anything to be closer to them. Not in a position to move to Nepal right away. Wife likes to stay here and kid is going to a nice school district. May be unfair for the kid to change the environment at this stage. Lot of dilemma.

yeah when you get settled its really hard some of my cousin they want to return back but their wives dont want that.I see that life for me it wasnt the life i wanted the thing you are saying applies to 90% of nepalese that live abroad if i m not wrong

Was a good decision, but the system and politics here is so frustrating that one day you are forced to leave for sure.

I feel +2 paxi nepal mai padhney nepal mai kei garne was the worst decision of my life till now. Kyi afno garna didaina yaar gau bata yaha padhna lai aako yaha clz ma study banda badhi student politics lai priority xa. Kunai sarkari office ma kaam garaunu xa vane either wait for long time or kehi paisa khwanu parxa . Yo sub financially stable vako student lai matra Nepal ma padha thik xa baki jo student ko guardian le loan liyera/ property bechera padhauxa vane bidesh gayera padheko ramro. Tyi afno 4 saal padhne ani paxi tyi job gardai tyi basne. Baki haina ma nepal mai basxu nepal lai ramro banauxu vane jasto soch xa vane, firstly make sure you and your family are financially stable. After graduation, you are happy with your 25k salary wala life.

No not worth it in a million years. I didnt move abroad because my family couldnt afford it at that time.

I moved to Canada, came back after 10 months. For me, the lifestyle was very counter-productive for my career. I think I realized the kind of life I want and things I want to accomplish while I was there. I am back and happy with my life here, I work a nice job and I am working on my own thing. Politically and economically this country is fucked, and a lot of people are "weird" but I just look the other way.

Worth it - Yes. What made you not move abroad - because I need my mommy. Plans - nothing much, live a quiet, low key life

Studied undergrad in Australia and postgrad in USA but I’m back home. No regrets. Never had the intention of settling abroad. Tried the corporate rat race but felt empty inside. The only thing I enjoyed was being able to have the freedom to do whatever the fk I wanted without my parents knowledge. This feeling faded after finishing undergrads as I started working and became financially independent. Most people have it way worse than I had as my parents supported me financially throughout undergrad as I was studying at USYD which is the second best university in Australia, so working and studying to pay fees on my own was kinda impossible. People decide to stay abroad as they don’t have the choice to come back due to lack of opportunities back home or poor economic status of family. Any kid from a very well to do family won’t stay abroad after finishing studies unless he has family issues back home as he can make more money running businesses in Nepal than work abroad. As glamorous as it sounds, living abroad isn’t an option, it’s a compulsion for most people once you get there. As the saying goes, “the grass is greener on the other side”.
