I am an Electrical Contractor here in Hawaii- I've spent 42 years mastering my trade- I handle many High-Rise building electrical "issues" here in Honolulu as well as island-wide- my phone NEVER stops ringing for customers needing troubleshoots, ceiling fans, main breaker replacements countless G.F.I. outlets pooping out- SO MUCH WORK so little time to give all my customers the quality service they need and the perfection that I am renowned for-I ALWAYS make 6 figures a year- Aloha
It is good to hear that there are Islanders doing ok. I was a Journeyman licensed EL01 electrician for 4 years after being in the Trade as a card-holding Apprentice for 15 prior years before aquiring my Journeyman's License, 19 years total. It is a good income generating career occupation.
This is one of the best videos about Hawaii I've seen so far. Really helpful. I have been wondering about jobs for professionals like architects and this helped to answer at least some of my questions
I'm glad the video was helpful. The government releases a report about the job market each year. It helps to show what industries are on the rise and decline. I suspect construction may see a small increase, but we'll have to see if the government pushes for more infrastructure projects.
@@HelloFromHawaii Would you know if you need to know someone in HA to get the job? I have a long exp. as cabin crew for one of the Japanese airlines and was bringing 2 languages they need, yet they rejected me at a very early stage twice, although I was very prepared for the interview... never understood why. Each time, I came all the way from another continent as I just got the green card. Not sure if that counts. Thanks in advance.
Best job: a remote IT position with 100k+ salary. I mean, I imagine I would be okay with it in Hawaii. Too bad I'm not a US citizen and have basically no prospect of ever going to be allowed to move there. Still, a holiday would be nice... But that's a no-go as well. Thanks, 2020. Anyway, great channel, very informative videos. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
@@genesisgaming2584 In Hawaii it’s not what you know, it’s who you know. Hawaii is a Tourist driven economy. You can’t get a High Tech job in Hawaii and the best jobs are Union Jobs. Hawaii is in need of High Tech Companies that don’t need the Federal Govt. and is not located in Diamond Head. Think out side the bubble. We moved to the mainland after buying our house, to earn enough to retire upon our return.🤙🏽 Matson and Young Brothers, Matson has the monopoly on world wide shipping and Young Brothers are the only inter-island shipping company. Monopoly’s are against Federal Law. So ask yourselves how is that allowed.🤙🏽
Hello from Hawaii could you possibly do a video with a welder from Hawaii because I just graduated welding school and am seeing boatloads of welder jobs and am seriously thinking about it
I personally don't know any welders, but I know Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard has job opportunities for welders. There is also a pretty big construction industry in Hawaii. In the coming years, Oahu will be seeing the rail system, as well as more condo construction.
That was a very informative video. I don't know how people make it especially when minimum wage is so low. The 3 jobs you selected definitely pay well enough.
They always say get into trades but you actually have to pass a test to be eligible then get interviewed then pass the interview. It’s not that easy. Can’t just apply & go like a regular job.
Thanks for the comment. Hawaii does have a physician shortage, particularly in the rural areas. And because we have a growing elderly population, it will continue to be a challenge in the future. They are trying to find ways to create incentives for doctors to move here, but it's challenging. I'm not sure the pay is competitive with other states.
I am considering to move back to Oahu because of my mother. I've been a carpenter for 26 years and 13 years as a licensed contractor in California. My question would be how easy it is it to sign up with local 745. And also I would like to know if union companies have lots of work out there in Oahu. We were there in Feb and seen a lot of cranes swinging. Any input would be appreciated! Mahalo
I've seen quite a few jobs for Instructional Designers, but the pay range from one to the next fluctuates significantly. I'm not sure what would be the norm in Hawaii. For example, an instructional designer position in SF Bay/Sacramento in California ranges from anywhere around $70k and up. These are relatively expensive areas to live. Would you happen to know if salaries in Honolulu are compatible to California?
I'm pretty sure that the salaries across the board are lower in Hawaii than CA. There are industries where the salaries could be higher, but I can't think of too many.
I think IT is great, but limited job opportunities. I'm not sure the local interest, especially in the schools. However, I think IT jobs that are remote to Mainland companies are pretty great opportunities. You can get the best of both worlds: high salary from the Mainland and the Hawaii lifestyle.
I estimate I would need At Least $150k per year Minimum to live in Hawaii at the same level as I do in the Midwest. And that's just me, my wife would also need a 6 figure income. So, unless we could have an annual gross salary of 250k minimum, I'm need to just be happy do vacations every other year. Yeah, elevator repair pays well Everywhere. The problem is I only want to work about 25 - 30 hours a week - cuz I needs my beach time.... :)
How about hairdressers?? Or hair instructors at an academy of cosmetology or barbering? I have been to Hawaii 3 times now and fell in love every time..
I know some pretty successful hair dressers. However, I'm sure it's a tough business here, like it is everywhere. All about building up that client base.
What about blue collar work like AAA the people who change car batteries, tires, deliver fuel or open cars? Is there opportunity for them there in Hawaii?
There will probably always be a need for certain blue collar work, like those you describe. However, the wages probably won't be what you'd expect, which makes it hard with the cost of living.
Cyber security is something that I know the State recognizes as an important field. However, I'm not sure about job availability. I'm sure there are state jobs.
I just discovered your channel. Loving it. I'm curious, I'm a professional musician in Detroit. I've lived other places but Detroit has always been a good place to work and cost of living is pretty good. Do you know any professional musicians there? I'm curious. Obviously I'm talking about when things were "normal" . Its bad everywhere now for pro musicians. Thanks and Aloha.
What about a collision repairman? I have a buddy moving there bec. of the army and he’s invited me to live there with him. I’m trying to do the numbers
Interesting perspective since public education downsized industrial arts. Higher salaries can lead to higher stress and less quality of personal life. Overall focus should not only be personal but community benefits. How do we build a better community by helping everyone. As an educator, I enjoyed seeing my thousands of students lead successful lives. Look at the meaning and purpose of life - Ikigai.
So, i'm a machine operator in the US now, your telling me the best i have to hope for is apparel and restaurants. What kind of construction are speaking of Sir?
As a machine operator, you may have more options. Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard has a lot of jobs that may interest you. For construction, there are condos being built, as well as the rail system that's going from west Oahu to downtown. So lots to do if you have job experience. It's hard if you don't have that experience. It's very limited.
Very informative video! I am considering moving to Hawaii if I can find a job there. Currently working in an architectural firm in mainland US. Like you mentioned in the video Architects and the real estate developments are growing industries but the video was uploaded last year..how is the construction situation in Hawaii around this covid time? If you can, could you provide some of the situation or bit of insights what ppl are expecting in coming years? I am trying to find what is the situation there..also planning to travel once the quarantine regulation goes away.
I’ve been looking at the job openings over there and there seems to be some..once/if I can find a job I’m ready. Like in your latest video on the beach it is very stressful going thru everything we are facing and can’t imagine how uncertain life ahead for many including me..here in NY the city started to fine ppl on the subway without a mask..I feel really sorry for the restaurant owners expecting the cold weather. Never felt this much that steamy smelly NY summer was so precious:( anyways, thank you for the comments back & all your videos and outputs Aloha!
Do you know if there are services that employ people to help children/adults with autism. They are usually not the best paying, but here in CA, the pay is rising steadily as this population is growing, now 1 in 50 children being diagnosed by age 8. Thanks for the information, if you have it. As always, you provide the best data of any channel.
Hey, I am from turkey . I want to work in Hawaii for a few months this summer. How i come there ? I am searching a family for 2 3 months. Just i want work and see hawaii
I think there are a lot of nursing jobs in Hawaii, especially in long-term care. However, I'm not sure about salary versus the rest of the US. My guess is that the salaries are lower than what you'd expect, but that salary difference is seen throughout most industries.
@@HelloFromHawaii Nope, RNs at local acute hospitals make a really good living. Over $55/hr as a base rate+ shift differential and OT pay with great benefits. I worked only 3 -12hr shifts then off for 4 days straight. I made over $110k/yr the last couple yrs working before taking early retirement in early 2018
@@kulianaw that sounds great, my wife wants to move there(from los angeles) and she is an RN certified pediatric nurse and i just finished my respiratory therapist program. She’s set on making the move by next year. We do have property here and we will sell by 2022. Hopefully we find a way to make it work. Also any hospitals you can suggest to apply for? Or avoid? And as a new RT grad, would you know if hospitals or sub acutes pay well? Thank you!
I don't have experience in the culinary arts, but there are some opportunities here since Hawaii caters to a lot of tourists and locals who like to eat. We have a good local community college that has a culinary program too. However, starting a new restaurant/business may be challenging.
Plenty of opportunity for chefs but I can tell you the job has brutal hours and the work culture is borderline abusive. Was married to a chef for 5 years
I'm a Massage Therapist here on Oahu & I'd have to say it pays really well here. You can get by cost of living just working part - time ( depending where you're at). Waikiki is where its definitely at though.
I'm a doctor (clinical/forensic psychologist), and I applied for a position at the state hospital in the forensic services division. May I ask how locals perceive psychologists, particularly those who are not from Hawaii and familiar with the culture?
The State definitely needs more professionals in the health/mental health field. I can't speak for all locals, but it can be a challenge to get adjusted to the culture. Obviously it helps to know the culture, but as more and more people from outside of Hawaii move here, being "local" may be less of a factor. I think it just comes down to respecting the local ways of life and not necessarily trying to change things ("Things aren't like this on the Mainland"). Most people in Hawaii are friendly and accepting.
@@HelloFromHawaii Thank you so much for responding, I really appreciate it. It's interesting, and a bit sad, that you say being "local" may be less of a factor due to outsiders moving to Hawaii. With the influx of mainlanders moving in, would you say that an equal number of locals are being forced to move out or that the locals are simply being outnumbered? Respecting other cultures is extremely important to me, and experiencing a new culture is part of what attracts me to Hawaii. I would hate to see the local culture disappear in front of my eyes.
@@HelloFromHawaii Okay, thank you, my family is planning to move to Hawaii next year, and I was wondering if I could still keep my dream of programming.
Hello Sir , thank you for your information... I completed my Hospitality,travel and customer service ... Can I get a job in Hawaii ? If yes .. then how ? Please reply ... Thank you ♥️
@@LetsTravelSolo I would recommend an online search of all the resorts and hotels. Contact each one and review their website...they usually have an option for "career" and allow you to apply. Apply to all the ones you like, follow up with the human resources office for each.
Don't come to Hawaii for hospitality or hotel restaurant work there is no job. Unless you want to be a homeless then come there are plenty of rooms on the beach and in the bushes.
@@perrysouvana1137 I agree with Perry. I just returned from a 2 week trip to Hawaii... almost all the hotels and resorts are closed and will remain so until the governor decides Hawaii is in the right COVID phase to allow for opening. Meanwhile, Hawaii has a homeless problem and they are in just about every town (at least on Oahu) as far as the eye can see. They even build encampments on the sidewalk or along the beach. People go to Hawaii with money saved and didnt realize how expensive it is, or how they need to work more than one job to survive since the income doesnt usually match the cost of living-- and end up having to move back to where they came, or end up on the streets. Typical, Democrat run state....run right into the ground. The will give you a ticket for not wearing a mask, meanwhile, they have locked it down so tight they cut the life line of the islands and some businesses have closed for good. Other states send their homeless to Hawaii and the government doesnt seem to know how to say no to them. Truly is a shame. The beauty and paradise of the island--comes with THOUSANDS of homeless. And the best part of all-- you're expected to pay for a high cost of living with high state income tax, high grocery prices, high utility prices and high gas prices-- all while you walk outside your 900 thousand dollar home to be greeted by homeless. If you're planning a move there, please make sure to visit first.
Looking for a serious job in Maui, landscaping, work for roof, preferably in Haiku but anywhere would be awesome. carpentry/landscaping/office ill be in debt to you FOREVER
I would check online. It's always nice to have connections in Hawaii. If you know someone who is already on Maui, that may be your best route to getting a good job. Like in other places, it's all about who you know. Good luck.
Military veterans get first crack at getting into any of the trades apprentice programs at Pearl Harbor...you might be the oldest, but they as mentioned you have first crack at getting in if you want it....The only down part is you will have to be around a lot of 20 year old's who don't know shit about anything, but are in the trade cause their daddy worked there. My uncle did it...got out of the Navy then worked as a machinist for 10 years and retired a supervisor from Pearl Harbor.
STEM JOBS🙌🙌!! But its kinda disappointing we have to hire so many people from the Mainland for these kinda jobs. For example: Out of 10 people I'm the only one they hired from Hawaii... Think about it.
I am moving to hawaii 2022 directly after my high school graduation, I am 19 then and I am moving all by myself. I want to make horses to my job, because the big island has very very much ranches. I am going to volunteer at a animal rescue sanctuary the first 4 months where I can live for free, after that I have to work, i wanted to work with horses like I said, a ranch hand or trail ride guide, horse trainer I saw they get 15$. And I wanted to get a second job too in a coffee place or shops idc. For me Success isn't having a college degree, for me it's happiness and as long as I can survive there I am all good I don't need luxury. Would you say that you HAVE to have a college degree to surivie on hawaii??
It's hard to not recommend having a college degree just in case. At the very least, an Associate's degree may be wise. However, to survive in Hawaii, like in any other place, I suppose you don't need a college degree. There are other opportunities to work with horses in Hawaii. I know Oahu has opportunities (Kualoa Ranch). Good luck.
I'm not sure what you mean, but if you're not an American, I would assume you would need a work visa. However, check with your Uncle for your specific situation.
Oof it's tough here with strict bi-partisan laws for business it chases innovative upstatrt business from coming here that and land laws and TAX what that does it stagnates the islands ecosystem in terms of GDP The only thing that is keeping Hawaii a U.S State is the Military the island generates GDP to barely sustain itself,it has more fund cuts then a meat butcher you would have to work 2 professional jobs at Max to survive especially if are you are starting fresh from College the cheapest rent you probably find that's decent is 1600 a month utilities not included water 80 electric about 70 Association fees 800 if you are lucky lol then if you have car 400 hundred a month insurance 100 gas 60 a week food 360 a month internet 40 phone 50 that's about 3000+ 4000 is rough estimate without taxes, a month ..That's all about getting 2X fullime jobs with college degree but you will be place d entry level anyway so 2 20000 a year jobs..smh I hope you are introverted...And to sum up Hawaii politics Democratic so common wealth rules here it's like miniature LA crammed with 1 million + people and the traffic takes me 30 min drive to work 3 hours so you have to get up 2-3 hours before the rush and going home is worse you have to stay additional 2 hours in town for traffic to subside unless you like driving through all that..then go home rinse repeat 6-7 days a week till you get a raise after half a decade then you can start socialising if you are still sane..Lol
Best jobs in Hawaii, Foodland Farms very hard to beat, Longs Drugs, last but not least Burger King where your work a day and get to eat what you do when the bills come due??? Is something else LOL, LOL, LOL,
Thank you very much I do really appreciate the effort you put in this video to educate us about the jobs in Hawaii !! As a Mexican citizen who dreams with live in Hawaii I would like to ask you if you see an opportunity to work as an aeronautical engineer or maybe mechanical engineer I mean design or fix airplanes or cars thank you so much I’m choosing right now between architecture or engineer but with the vision of living in Hawaii some day 😃😃😃thank so much really man! And alohaaa🤙🏻🤙🏻
There are opportunities as an engineer. From what I hear, it's mostly in civil and electrical. I'm not sure we have a strong aeronautical engineering industry in Hawaii.
Best job in Hawaii is being a Jobless. You can apply for being crazy then get cash monthly plus food card. On top of that you can apply for free housing, some of them are gated community with security guard 24/7 once you are in you are good for generation to come. You can pick up plenty free grocery from countless churches and free food outlets. Why work???? You live in paradise and we got technology and computer to work for us.
YOUNG BLOOD work with your brain not with your hands become a Doctor because around 40 you back will start to give you problems and you won't be able to work those physically demand jobs ask me how I know. I married a doctor later gator
Be careful coming to Hawaiʻi as a United States lawyer or judge especially... Hawaiʻi is an illegally occupied country, and you will be breaching international laws if you choose to work here, exerting US domestic laws outside of proper US jurisdiction. What that may entail when the LHG and regency goes to the UN wonʻt look good for you and/or your livelihood. Youʻve been warned.

Great opportunity in the trades. Elevators break all the time.
Honolulu Police make over 100K a year. Some officers as much as 200K with overtime and special duty jobs. No college degree required.
I'm shocked police and firefighters didn't make the list specifically.

Lots of drivers around here.

I'm not sure about that position. A lot of it depends on your expected costs. Anything above $50K may be doable in the short-term.
How much do Firefighters make in Honolulu?
I'm not sure about firefighters specifically. It's a county job, which has great benefits and retirement.
What about delivery jobs ? like UPS FedEx and Amazon.

Do you know if there are services that employ people to help children/adults with autism. They are usually not the best paying, but here in CA, the pay is rising steadily as this population is growing, now 1 in 50 children being diagnosed by age 8.
Thanks for the information, if you have it. As always, you provide the best data of any channel.
Mahalo for the question. There are services to help children with autism, such as Easter Seals. The DOE might also have job opportunities.
Thank you for sharing❤❤
Hey, I am from turkey . I want to work in Hawaii for a few months this summer. How i come there ? I am searching a family for 2 3 months. Just i want work and see hawaii
I make $2,400 a month in Hawaii as a federal worker and I need a career change in Hawaii! HELP ME OUT
Hawaiian Electric should’ve been there my opinion. OTS is great also
Could nurses do well in Hawaii?
I think there are a lot of nursing jobs in Hawaii, especially in long-term care. However, I'm not sure about salary versus the rest of the US. My guess is that the salaries are lower than what you'd expect, but that salary difference is seen throughout most industries.
@@HelloFromHawaii apparently in Hawaii for RNs it's 90k-100k but I don't know if that's good enough for Hawaii
My sister in law is a nurses on Maui. She on her 3rd house and add 2 more in the Philippines . Yes nurses do well. 1 house on Maui $500k ++ to start
@@HelloFromHawaii Nope, RNs at local acute hospitals make a really good living. Over $55/hr as a base rate+ shift differential and OT pay with great benefits. I worked only 3 -12hr shifts then off for 4 days straight. I made over $110k/yr the last couple yrs working before taking early retirement in early 2018
@@kulianaw that sounds great, my wife wants to move there(from los angeles) and she is an RN certified pediatric nurse and i just finished my respiratory therapist program. She’s set on making the move by next year. We do have property here and we will sell by 2022. Hopefully we find a way to make it work.
Also any hospitals you can suggest to apply for? Or avoid? And as a new RT grad, would you know if hospitals or sub acutes pay well?
Thank you!
Im Bachelor of science in Business Administration major in Marketing Management can i work in a company their in Hawaii?
I'm sure there is something here.
@@HelloFromHawaii thank you po
How about being a chef? is hawaii a good place to work as a chef? Why?
I don't have experience in the culinary arts, but there are some opportunities here since Hawaii caters to a lot of tourists and locals who like to eat. We have a good local community college that has a culinary program too. However, starting a new restaurant/business may be challenging.
Plenty of opportunity for chefs but I can tell you the job has brutal hours and the work culture is borderline abusive. Was married to a chef for 5 years
I'm a massage therapist there and I make around 72k a year
Nice! Do you work for a spa or medical facility? Where do you work?
@@dionnebutler1626 I have my own office that I work out of. I've been a therapist for over 16 years
I'm a Massage Therapist here on Oahu & I'd have to say it pays really well here. You can get by cost of living just working part - time ( depending where you're at). Waikiki is where its definitely at though.
You dont do none of that
i will be carpenter soon and i'm still apprenticeship when its done, then i will move to Hawaii :)
Good luck brotha
I'm a doctor (clinical/forensic psychologist), and I applied for a position at the state hospital in the forensic services division. May I ask how locals perceive psychologists, particularly those who are not from Hawaii and familiar with the culture?
The State definitely needs more professionals in the health/mental health field. I can't speak for all locals, but it can be a challenge to get adjusted to the culture. Obviously it helps to know the culture, but as more and more people from outside of Hawaii move here, being "local" may be less of a factor. I think it just comes down to respecting the local ways of life and not necessarily trying to change things ("Things aren't like this on the Mainland"). Most people in Hawaii are friendly and accepting.
@@HelloFromHawaii Thank you so much for responding, I really appreciate it. It's interesting, and a bit sad, that you say being "local" may be less of a factor due to outsiders moving to Hawaii. With the influx of mainlanders moving in, would you say that an equal number of locals are being forced to move out or that the locals are simply being outnumbered? Respecting other cultures is extremely important to me, and experiencing a new culture is part of what attracts me to Hawaii. I would hate to see the local culture disappear in front of my eyes.
Is programming a good job in Hawaii?
I think it depends. If you can work remote for a mainland company, you get the best of both worlds.
@@HelloFromHawaii Okay, thank you, my family is planning to move to Hawaii next year, and I was wondering if I could still keep my dream of programming.
If you have a clean record get in with BAE and Pearl Harbor, or with one of their subcontractors and say hello to 7-12s.
Hello Sir , thank you for your information... I completed my Hospitality,travel and customer service ... Can I get a job in Hawaii ? If yes .. then how ? Please reply ... Thank you ♥️
Lots of jobs in hospitality since we rely so heavily on tourism. Most of the tourists are from the US and Asia markets.
@@HelloFromHawaii so how can I get the job in Hawaii? Plz reply
@@LetsTravelSolo I would recommend an online search of all the resorts and hotels. Contact each one and review their website...they usually have an option for "career" and allow you to apply.
Apply to all the ones you like, follow up with the human resources office for each.
Don't come to Hawaii for hospitality or hotel restaurant work there is no job. Unless you want to be a homeless then come there are plenty of rooms on the beach and in the bushes.
@@perrysouvana1137
I agree with Perry. I just returned from a 2 week trip to Hawaii... almost all the hotels and resorts are closed and will remain so until the governor decides Hawaii is in the right COVID phase to allow for opening.
Meanwhile, Hawaii has a homeless problem and they are in just about every town (at least on Oahu) as far as the eye can see. They even build encampments on the sidewalk or along the beach.
People go to Hawaii with money saved and didnt realize how expensive it is, or how they need to work more than one job to survive since the income doesnt usually match the cost of living-- and end up having to move back to where they came, or end up on the streets.
Typical, Democrat run state....run right into the ground. The will give you a ticket for not wearing a mask, meanwhile, they have locked it down so tight they cut the life line of the islands and some businesses have closed for good.
Other states send their homeless to Hawaii and the government doesnt seem to know how to say no to them.
Truly is a shame. The beauty and paradise of the island--comes with THOUSANDS of homeless. And the best part of all-- you're expected to pay for a high cost of living with high state income tax, high grocery prices, high utility prices and high gas prices-- all while you walk outside your 900 thousand dollar home to be greeted by homeless.
If you're planning a move there, please make sure to visit first.
Looking for a serious job in Maui, landscaping, work for roof, preferably in Haiku but anywhere would be awesome. carpentry/landscaping/office
ill be in debt to you FOREVER
I would check online. It's always nice to have connections in Hawaii. If you know someone who is already on Maui, that may be your best route to getting a good job. Like in other places, it's all about who you know. Good luck.
Im transitioning out of the military soon are there jobs opportunities for veterans?
Hawaii has a lot of veterans. I'm not sure what you're interested in, but I'm sure there are things here.
Military veterans get first crack at getting into any of the trades apprentice programs at Pearl Harbor...you might be the oldest, but they as mentioned you have first crack at getting in if you want it....The only down part is you will have to be around a lot of 20 year old's who don't know shit about anything, but are in the trade cause their daddy worked there. My uncle did it...got out of the Navy then worked as a machinist for 10 years and retired a supervisor from Pearl Harbor.
So what job did you get?
Government job
@@HelloFromHawaii How did you find it?
I wonder if nursing jobs are in high demand or will continue to increase. Especially government jobs in the medical field
Teachers?
I mentioned teachers in my Worst Jobs in Hawaii video.
Caregivers? For elderly or adult with autisms
Definitely need more health care workers as the aging population grows in Hawaii.
I bet remote IT jobs are moving up the list now.
Yeah, we've seen an increase in remote work, both in-state and beyond.
Stevedores is the best job in Hawaii, they make 100k plus a year!
The best job is working for HART cause they keep extending the project length and price
lol
What about tech. Jobs?
There aren't too many tech jobs in Hawaii, but it's an industry that the government tries to invest in.
@@HelloFromHawaii would it be much to ask for any recommendations?
On Maui !! Mechanic! Register Nurse, Construction.
Thanks for the recommendations. I think mechanic is such an underrated job here.
@@HelloFromHawaii what type of jobs can I get with just a Bachelor's?
@@josephsmith4147 thats a really vague question. What did you finish with a bachelors degree?
@@Hakuna_My_Tatas Yes
Local person here who can't get a higher paying job because any employer I've worked for promotes or hires people not from here for higher positions
That happens in certain fields. Hard to break in, even as a local.
If you need to ask yourself if you’re qualified to be a doctor or judge, you’re not.
STEM JOBS🙌🙌!!
But its kinda disappointing we have to hire so many people from the Mainland for these kinda jobs.
For example: Out of 10 people I'm the only one they hired from Hawaii...
Think about it.
Hopefully more local kids get interested in those fields and can stay here.
Video on Target!!!!!!
Thanks
I think u only talk about Hawai’i Oahu.
Excavation?
Sorry, I'm not familiar with that industry.
So in other words, jobs that elevate with the cost of living.
Yeah, pretty much.
I am moving to hawaii 2022 directly after my high school graduation, I am 19 then and I am moving all by myself. I want to make horses to my job, because the big island has very very much ranches. I am going to volunteer at a animal rescue sanctuary the first 4 months where I can live for free, after that I have to work, i wanted to work with horses like I said, a ranch hand or trail ride guide, horse trainer I saw they get 15$. And I wanted to get a second job too in a coffee place or shops idc. For me Success isn't having a college degree, for me it's happiness and as long as I can survive there I am all good I don't need luxury. Would you say that you HAVE to have a college degree to surivie on hawaii??
It's hard to not recommend having a college degree just in case. At the very least, an Associate's degree may be wise. However, to survive in Hawaii, like in any other place, I suppose you don't need a college degree. There are other opportunities to work with horses in Hawaii. I know Oahu has opportunities (Kualoa Ranch). Good luck.
@@HelloFromHawaii thank you! I have decided that I maybe go to the community college to study agriculture
how’s that going for you ?
How about social work jobs... particularly clinical😄
housekeeping in hotels?
i have my uncle their in hawaii... im a filipino how can i apply and work in hawaii?
I'm not sure what you mean, but if you're not an American, I would assume you would need a work visa. However, check with your Uncle for your specific situation.
Oof it's tough here with strict bi-partisan laws for business it chases innovative upstatrt business from coming here that and land laws and TAX what that does it stagnates the islands ecosystem in terms of GDP The only thing that is keeping Hawaii a U.S State is the Military the island generates GDP to barely sustain itself,it has more fund cuts then a meat butcher you would have to work 2 professional jobs at Max to survive especially if are you are starting fresh from College the cheapest rent you probably find that's decent is 1600 a month utilities not included water 80 electric about 70 Association fees 800 if you are lucky lol then if you have car 400 hundred a month insurance 100 gas 60 a week food 360 a month internet 40 phone 50 that's about 3000+ 4000 is rough estimate without taxes, a month ..That's all about getting 2X fullime jobs with college degree but you will be place d entry level anyway so 2 20000 a year jobs..smh I hope you are introverted...And to sum up Hawaii politics Democratic so common wealth rules here it's like miniature LA crammed with 1 million + people and the traffic takes me 30 min drive to work 3 hours so you have to get up 2-3 hours before the rush and going home is worse you have to stay additional 2 hours in town for traffic to subside unless you like driving through all that..then go home rinse repeat 6-7 days a week till you get a raise after half a decade then you can start socialising if you are still sane..Lol
Best job? How about just travel like pilot
You could. Not sure if they're hiring, though.
Best jobs in Hawaii, Foodland Farms very hard to beat, Longs Drugs, last but not least Burger King where your work a day and get to eat what you do when the bills come due??? Is something else LOL, LOL, LOL,
Thank you very much I do really appreciate the effort you put in this video to educate us about the jobs in Hawaii !! As a Mexican citizen who dreams with live in Hawaii I would like to ask you if you see an opportunity to work as an aeronautical engineer or maybe mechanical engineer I mean design or fix airplanes or cars thank you so much I’m choosing right now between architecture or engineer but with the vision of living in Hawaii some day 😃😃😃thank so much really man! And alohaaa🤙🏻🤙🏻
There are opportunities as an engineer. From what I hear, it's mostly in civil and electrical. I'm not sure we have a strong aeronautical engineering industry in Hawaii.
Weird sounds in the background drive me crazy.
Damn my degree is not cut out for Hawaii 😂
You can always work remote.
Travel and. Tourism,... Industry,....
I’m on disability and considering moving to Hawaii.... figure I would fit in as 90% folks there on government assistance.
Crack pipe manufacturing
Elevator repair....
Great job
I want to be luha dancer
Air Traffic Control, dont need education, 6 figures and retire after 25 years
Bro i am an indian i want to do job in hawaii as chef how can i ?
Best job in Hawaii is being a Jobless. You can apply for being crazy then get cash monthly plus food card. On top of that you can apply for free housing, some of them are gated community with security guard 24/7 once you are in you are good for generation to come. You can pick up plenty free grocery from countless churches and free food outlets. Why work???? You live in paradise and we got technology and computer to work for us.
YOUNG BLOOD work with your brain not with your hands become a Doctor because around 40 you back will start to give you problems and you won't be able to work those physically demand jobs ask me how I know. I married a doctor later gator
Dog the Bounty Hunter is real Hawaii
July 2020: best jobs in hawaii. none. thanks covid.
Be careful coming to Hawaiʻi as a United States lawyer or judge especially... Hawaiʻi is an illegally occupied country, and you will be breaching international laws if you choose to work here, exerting US domestic laws outside of proper US jurisdiction. What that may entail when the LHG and regency goes to the UN wonʻt look good for you and/or your livelihood. Youʻve been warned.
