One of my friend was in your shoes. After he got fired from the startup where he did lots of hard work without payoff. He just lost his faith in the system and sold off everything, moved to China.

Now he gives talks in local Chinese and Indian conferences shillings consultancy for companies.

He meets a lot of Chinese and Indians and now he has saved a lot of money to retire even by American standards.

One thing we don't recognize is that we might be more valualed in a country where we weren't born.

You are failing in America doesn't mean you'll fail in Thailand, India, China where my friends just because they are white get paid thousands of dollars for smiling for photops

There are many businesses in East who don't know anything about the US but still have software products which can potentially undercut western products on prices, if you show them the way to enter western market - you too can charge a premium for this.
