Times are hard these days in the Bhutanese economy. Jobs are getting scarce and people are going to extreme lengths to live a decent life. The modern competitive world has proved to be a double edge sword. The competitive ones are reaping all the benefits, living a healthier lifestyle and others are getting left out.
For these reasons and many other, students opt for studying abroad, work and reside permanently for a better career and opportunities.
