I'm losing out on networking and establishment by being over here, unless I take up a job over here. All of the jobs will potentially be taken up by my peers.
I was already thinking this, but it was actually reaffirmed when I read a Japanese article a friend lent me describing the same thing happening to Japanese students studying abroad in the west, only to come back to no job opportunities and no connections.

Jobs are hard to come by here anyway, i know people who graduated from college and are sitting on their butts, or people going to get grad degress ONLY because they cant find a job. So coming back and networking wont solve anything. Job market is tuff. So you arent missing out much.
