How much is the pay at a Honolulu Hotel?
I've been trying to move to Honolulu for a while now, the only thing keeping me is that I need to find a second job. I've wondered what it's like to work in a hotel and after researching a bit i've found different answers. Being that Honolulu is a big tourist place, let's say I magically got a job at a local hotel.. How much would the pay be?

Answer 1 :
Depends on the hotel but they are having trouble filling rooms. Occupancy rates are way down and all of the hotels are having to discount so hiring is not a priority right now.
Answer 2 :
You may two jobs like a lot of locals do to make ends meet. The best thing might be getting a job on the mainland that would allow you to transfer. Then find a place to live before you move here. Use friends or family to help you find a place or to live with until you can get your own place! Good luck!

Which is a better place to live Seattle or Honolulu?
My husband has an opportunity to work in Seattle. I am unfamiliar with Seattle. We currently live in Honolulu and it's just okay. We have a 5 year old that will be going to kindergarten. Which is a better place to live and raise a family?

Answer 1 :
I'd love to see Hawaii, and have been to neither, but I would venture to guess Seattle. Mainly because of cost of living and many travel (for vacation/exploring) opportunities. Believe me, I'd love to go to Hawaii for a few months, but I would think you'd be limited on what you can do/places to go if you live there. You'll be going from beautiful 80's weather to temperate, alot of gloom. I'd love to see Seattle too!!!!!!!
Answer 2 :
It really depends on your personality. But I mean... Honolulu is paradise, and it'll be hard to adjust to the weather. Seattle's a really cool place though. It's a really important part of music history, and would be a very cool place to grow up. I saw it on a list and it was number one for having the healthiest people. There's not really a crime rate issue either.
Answer 3 :
Seattle is an amazing city w/ great places to eat, awesome outdoor activities, and really amazing elementary schools like The bilingual John Stanford International School. You just need to ask yourself how much you like the rain. They call it rain city for a reason :D If you love the rain then I would definitely suggest Seattle.
Answer 4 :
I've never been to Seattle but I've been told that it's drizzly and cloudy a lot of the time. If you can stand that, then I would imagine it's not too bad a place to live. It's not cheap to live there, though, but then again neither is Honolulu. I did live in Hawaii at one time years ago so I have a pretty good idea of what Honolulu is like.
Answer 5 :
hono! unless you like rain!
Answer 6 :
I live in Honolulu. I like Seattle to visit, but I honestly don't think I could take the Seattle weather. I was there several years back in June for a conference. It was SO cold & rainy. The last day I was there, the sun came out & it was just lovely.
Answer 7 :
it depends...how close to your family and friends are you on oahu? i moved from maui to washington in 2006 and i get homesick every now and then but i know i can go back as much as i can afford to and hawaii will always be my home no matter what! seattle rains a lot and is cold so you're gonna definitely miss the sun and the beach. your child is gonna love the snow! the lake that some people call the beach is NOTHING compared to the ocean. you might have more opportunities up here in washington because it's so much bigger than the little island your on. i say you should go for it! im sure your husband will make more money with his new job opportunity. i dunno know how much it costs to live in seattle. there's no tax on groceries! i like that...lol. non-food items and prepared food have an almost 9% tax. change can do good. your child is still young so moving will not do too much harm. we have a 5 year old and a 3 year old and they adapted just fine! better than i have. a lot of people from the islands are up here. there are canoe clubs, hula halaus, hawaiian restaurants, the hawaii general store (poi is flown in fresh every thursday from oahu and they have all kine local goodies, hawaiian print clothes, hawaiian music and fresh leis...they even have a little travel agency that will help you go home anytime!), uwajimiya(for island kine foods.), even get concerts with groups from the islands like ekolu guys. you can always go back to oahu if things don't work out. whatever you decide to do...i wish you the best of luck! take care and aloooooha! edit...oh and i forgot to say. the only thing we had with my 5 year old neice and her school was that her teacher told her she needs to learn how to speak english. my neice said she had to make shi-shi...lol. cannot help if that's how she was taught...that or i gotta pee. so at home she talks normal and in school she trys to say that she has to go to the potty. edit again...LoL! thanks rebecca!
Answer 8 :
honolulu is the best place ever. I went. You will have so much fun! You can also climb volcanoes.
Answer 9 :
LOL!! Maui_Gurl, Funny about your niece! (thumbs up for you!!
Answer 10 :
As a teacher here in the mailand, I would teach my kids (students) the Hawaiian ways. What the kids lack here in the mainland, Hawaii try to imprint it to our keikis. I teach my kids with honor and respects, along of course with their academical courses. I don't know how it is in Seattle - haven't been there for a long time, but I would assume there is no differences in all the Coastal places. For me, Hawaii school system is more favorable, or the Catholic schools in the mainland would be my other choices.

About Is it possible to work at about like two different zoos
Is it possible to work at about like two different zoos?
Is it possible to work at like about two different zoos? well is it? The reason why i'm asking is because some of you may know that some day i'll like to become a professional animal trainer and work a lot with animals but i've always wanted to work at the los angeles zoo because it's like my favorite zoo and all and probably the only zoo i've had ever been to lol, i've always dreamed of living in the city of los angeles considering that, that's where i'm from and love it a lot out there but i've always had a dream of living in hawaii as well and recently i've been wanting to work at the honolulu zoo too and also work a lot and improve and help build more enclosures and do a lot of new stuff at the zoos for the animals but i'm wondering is it possible to work at like about two zoos even if there in different states like could they have me or put me on a "certain" shift to go back and forth to the zoos, would they allow that? and i'm even considering buying a house in l.a. and in hawaii if I have enough money for that kind of stuff but anyways is there any possible way that I could work at both zoos? (I REALLY WANT TOO!)

Answer 1 :
Doubtful. As the animals you would have to take care of require daily care, they require daily keepers. Honestly it is an impossibly hard profession to get a job in, apply at both and you will be lucky to get a position at one of them. Stay with that one.
Answer 2 :
Well, ya i guess but 1 is plenty, trust me it is fun but scooping up poo and washing them, on average you would spend 8-10 hours for each job so, and you would get paid not very good, and that is 16-20 hours of your 24 hour day. So you can if you want but i only worked at one and turned out one of the top 5 most famous zoologists in the world, i have been in 3 magazines and have been on TV 6+ times for my zoology field and also have a doctors master degree and am studding marine biology and i am only 23 years old. I started collage at 17.
Answer 3 :
Very difficult to get into either zoo. You'll need an education, research time, and start out at smaller zoos working your way up if successful.
Answer 4 :
Uh, sorry but you would have to work at a profession that pays A LOT more than a zoo to buy a house in LA AND Hawaii. Good luck even affording rent on a zoo salary. Jobs working with animals typically don't pay well. People go into this profession for their love and passion of animals, NOT the money they will make. Good luck even getting a job at ONE zoo...these jobs are HIGHLY competitive. Also, most zoos don't have much use for animal trainers..those are for entertainment parks like Sea World, etc. Why don't you first worry about getting an education and a degree for this kind of work and then you can worry about the rest.

What are some high-demand, flexible careers?
I'd like to get a Master's. Are there any careers out there that are high in demand and will allow me to move around fairly easily? (For example... work a year in Chicago, then move to Honolulu and work a year there, then maybe work a year in Australia, etc.)
Careers & Employment - 6 Answers
People's Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
First you need to find out what you like and what you're made for. You may be out of talent for something flexible and talented for something not not-so-flexible. If you work on IT you've got something financially rewarding and flexible.
Answer 2 :
The arts-ballet and backup dancers, gymnasts, contortionists i.e.cirque du lay etc. Also yoga and karate instructors. Call girl
Answer 3 :
I believe that getting a Master's in Computer Science, Project Management, Marketing or an MBA might give you the flexibility you seek. Computer science people typically work on IT projects for a limited period of time and then move on. Project managers do roughly the same thing but they don't need to focus just on technology. Marketing and MBA people can fit in almost anywhere and work on short-term projects too.
Answer 4 :
If you are any good with numbers, Accounting & Finance is a hugely "high-deman, flexible" careers. Every company, in every country, needs accountants & bookkeepers. Or sales, again, nearly every company needs good sales people. Psychology is also I strong pick, clinicians and counselors are needed everywhere in America.
Answer 5 :
The health care field has a huge demand for nurses, and more coming as current nurses retire. Hospitals are sometimes paying signing bonuses to recruit. The hours are long, but its supposedly a rewarding career. Also, here's something else to think about below:
Answer 6 :
get something in nursing, heath administration or education
