After years of living on the mainland and juggling various jobs, the thought of relocating to Hawaii has been tugging at me stronger than ever. There’s something about the pace of life, the culture, and obviously the beauty of the islands that’s hard to ignore. But I’m being realistic here — job opportunities are a key factor. Has anyone made a successful move out there for work? I’m especially curious about industries in demand, remote-friendly fields, or anything tied to healthcare. Any insight or personal experiences would help big time.
Having worked as a travel nurse for the last four years, a good chunk of that time was actually spent in Hawaii — and I can vouch for the opportunities there, especially in the medical field. Facilities across the islands often need temporary professionals, and travel contracts are quite competitive. One resource that really helped me was Click here. They post current listings in Hawaii, not just for nurses but other healthcare roles too. Plus, they handle logistics like housing, which was a huge help. It's definitely possible to make it work — it just takes some research and flexibility.
When I started seriously considering a move to Hawaii, figuring out job options was only half the equation—finding affordable flights and places to stay was the other headache.
