You may be surprised at the large number of Hawaii residents who originally came here on vacation.  Some never went home !  With a little motivation, determination and creative thinking, many of them have made a good life here and - of course - with the increasing number of people who move here, come more jobs and opportunities as well, although the job market does go up and down - as it does everywhere. 

A few potential problems with working in Hawaii:

• You may be in "Seventh Heaven", but work is still work!
• The vacation is over!
• It may not pay quite as well as your last job in a big city.
• It can be hard to find good help!
• People who do the hiring have to compete with world-class surf, etc.
  

The Good News!

• If you are a reliable and motivated person, the world is your oyster!
• There are many opportunities for an entrepreneur, so much is lacking on our Island!
• If you do good work, the local 'coconut wireless' network spreads the word like wildfire!
• When work is pau hana (finished), you get to relax in Hawaii !
