ahhh, Hawaii

I love Hawaii. To be honest, I've only been there once, and the visit there was amazing. The aloha laid back vibe. I've relocated out to California for the entertainment industry, but I must admit, California probably isn't what it used to be in the 1970s. Then again, neither is Hawaii, but the great ocean breeze keeps Honolulu's smog level non-existent. Not to mention you can drive to any beach in 5 to 30 minutes on Oahu. So, I know most industries don't thrive there, and I only think that there are a handful of small entertainment relating studios (mostly gaming). It's definitely one of those places you move to for the lifestyle, not work. Just think, everyday after work, you and your family can enjoy snorkling or surfing. A partial vacation everyday. Now all I do is come home after work and turn on the boob tube.

The tourism industry is the biggest pillar of the Honolulu economy, and even jobs not directly connected to tourism are often affected by it: retail workers, for example, are heavily dependent on money spent by visitors. However, not everyone in Honolulu is fishing for the tourist dollar; the city still needs plenty of workers in practical occupations like construction, education and health care. Here's a sample of some of the fastest-growing Honolulu careers, according to www.citytowninfo.com:

• Tour guide
• Reservation and ticket agent
• Baggage porter, bellhop
• Educator
• Massage Therapist
• Musician
• Nurse
• Financial manager
• Elevator installer/repairer
