I want to stay in Nepal and start a business of my own as soon as I finish my studies. Most people are going abroad thinking that there are more opportunities elsewhere. But I guess it’s us who have to try doing something new here instead of waiting for others to do it for us.

I want to go abroad to get a BSC IT degree. Since most of my elders have gone to foreign countries for further studies, I also want to experience it. I think an international degree will be very helpful when I come back and look for a job.

I’m applying to universities abroad as there’s no option in Nepal for the specialization of the subject I want to study. But after getting a Master’s degree, I have plans of coming back and working in Nepal. There’s so much to do in the field of Biotechnology here.
