Re: Hawaii's "Brain Drain"?
You're right, Craig. You have choices (you are, after all, the CEO of your own destiny) and the choices you made for yourself and your family seem to be working well for you. I feel I am successful up here, but when I retire and am probably able to move back to the 'aina, all I want is a roof over my head and enough kala to keep us and da popokis fed and some bills paid. I am getting to the stage in my life when working hard just to support a lifestyle ain't worth it anymore. Lots of Boomers are feeling the same way, that's why there's this "simple life" movement among the 40-50 year olds now. I'm convinced that big cities are for young people who need the stimulation to keep from getting bored. Me? I think sitting quietly at home with one of da popokis (either Shimai or Hoku) curled at my feet as I read a good book would be good enough for me.
