Hello,
I'd like some advice from locals on moving to Oahu. My husand is currently investigating graduate schools. He is very interested in Hawaii Manoa and their zoology program. He spent several months there this last year and loved the school. I am very concerned about us moving to Hawaii. I know that the cost of living is incredibly high. I have also heard that jobs and housing are scarce. My questions are several: First how bad is the job market? I'll be graduating with a masters in student affairs and a juris doctorate this spring. Ideally I'd like to find a position at a local university in student affairs. Is this going to be difficult or even possible? Second, are we going to be able to find housing? We can afford about $1500/mnth and aren't too concerned about sq footage. We also have a small dog whom we have rented with for the past three years. Finally, are there any other issues we should take into consideration? I am very much a researcher/planner and want to make sure I have my bases covered. Thanks in advance for your help!
