Re: What Would It Take For You To Stay Home?
Nice of you to take the time out of your busy schedule to lecture us about job openings, Tim, but I think maybe you, the real estate developer, who is more than likely making money hand over fist, are the one in need of an education. None of those jobs that you so helpfully listed pay anywhere near enough to make ends meet. On any island. Especially a single person and definitely not a one-income family. In case you're living under a rock over there in Kona, there is no affordable housing here on O'ahu. Nothing. We're struggling to keep what we have open, but in the meantime, there are people living with fifteen relatives in houses designed for five. It's a nightmare over here, and guess what? It ain't gonna get any better on the big island. It's getting worse all the time.
Are those people in overcrowded houses lazy? Poorly educated? Yeah, I dare you to tell a multi-generational Filipino/Hawaiian family that they're too dumb to look at the want ads. I dare you.Typical
All the jobs I listed pay enough to make ends meet. That's why I listed them. Affordable housing doesn't need to be "houses". Condos and Apartments are much cheaper to build. I'm not a developer. Your post is full of misinformation and falsehoods.
How easy would it be if 15 relatives pitched in to get one kid to become a doctor, lawyer, professor, or somesuch?
I knew that if I used empowerment as bait, the negativists would come out in force. You too, Kilinahe, can be a wild success in your own life, and help others in your family to do the same.
And since I work with high school students in sports, I can honestly say that I HAVE said words to this effect to many up and coming young citizens. And 1 or 2 of them have actually listened.
In Hawaii, not enough people believe or preach - "YOU CAN DO IT!!"
