With gorgeous beaches and lush jungles, some of the most awe-inspiring volcanoes in the world, and an abundance of fresh fruits, just about anyone would love to spend their days wrapped in the beauty of Hawaii. Beyond the natural beauty, Hawaii enjoys a rich culture, including influences from Polynesian, Japanese, and Caucasian backgrounds that blend to form customs different from any other state in the nation. Hawaii is even the only state in the union to have its own official native language.
Making a living in Hawaii is best done with education past high school. For traditional jobs such as teaching, nursing, accounting, and management, the annual pay scale runs between $45,420 and $94,850–on average almost $30,000 more than what those without education make in Hawaii. While tourism is certainly the largest industry in Hawaii behind exporting goods such as pineapples and macadamia nuts; professional services, education, and healthcare are close behind. In addition to the wide range of employment possibilities, Hawaii consistently enjoys an exceedingly low unemployment rate.
Getting the necessary degree to work successfully in Hawaii can be done at one of the Christian universities or Bible colleges there. Earn a Bachelor’s degree or complete a graduate degree from schools such as Hawai’i Theological Seminary or Wayland Baptist University. Your education can focus specifically on religion, or you can earn a more traditional degree while enjoying religious classes in a Christ-based environment.
