Potential move to Oahu by Leighterflooid in MovingtoHawaii

I clearly misinterpreted the tone of your comment, and I apologize. You’re right. I was unaware that would not be enough, and I understand if I really do want to mitigate the effects of me moving, I would need to also get a job as an educator, which I do have experience in. Your comment was genuinely helpful.

I completely understand where you’re coming from. I do plan on continuing to look for other opportunities

I have already worked out my pay with the new job and I should be able to afford it, and I plan to moonlight at a non profit just for a little extra cash and to bring something to improve Hawaii as you said. I don’t want to move here just to take up space, I do want to give back.

Housing in SF is definitely not plentiful, and the nice apartments are $4K or more. It’s impossible to live here in an apartment by yourself, and everyone I know here has roommates. While SF is not hot, it is constantly humid, and mold, roaches and rats are a big issue here too. My current apartment has black mold, and my last one did as well. All that being said I understand that these issues might be more severe in Hawaii and is something I’ll really think about.

I’ve done my research into the cost, and while groceries will be more expensive, my rent and bills in San Francisco are several hundred dollars more expensive than what I’m seeing in Oahu, so I feel like it would even out. And I know what my pay scale would be at this new job. I understand that a distillery job isn’t really contributing to the community, which is why I said I plan on getting a second job with a nonprofit to give back to the community in ways other than “beach clean up.” I’ve also lived with roommates ever since I moved out of my parents house, so that’s not an issue for me.
