Hopefully I am moving to Oahu, this coming September, and was wondering if anyone here, is from Hawaii or works there. Currently I do large commercial/ industrial construction, (mostly concrete) during the summer, and residential carpentry all winter long. The Alaska winters are wearing me down and I would like to finish college so I figure it’s now or never and Hawaii has a decent engineering program.
I am curious as to the wages on the islands, and wether the work is union or not. Is it realistic that I’ll be able to find construction employment reletively quick, or do I need to know someone? Any information would be helpful and appreciated.
I am just worried about leaving these Alaska wages behind. At least living here I can afford to leave here.

People in Hawaii can really get you depressed a whole lot faster than the long winter nights. Small business help is nill, and you gotta know somebody to get a job anywhere, even fast food. I've never lived in a more hateful place than Honolulu, HI. Stay off Oahu for your safety and mental health.
