What's your job, do you enjoy it, how much do you make? (srs)

nope, theres alot of white reciprocity medics who come from the mainland to work for us. although from what ive seen alot of them have a difficult time adapting to the way we work, might be related to the high call volume down here, we average 6-8 calls on an 8 hour shift in town.
i would say maybe 1/2 of reciprocity medics are successful. but rest assured your race definately wont be a determining factor

Guess I will have to look back into it, im from a southern coastal town so grew up on the water which is why HEMS stuck out to me. My truck averages 10~ on a 12hr shift so the volume wouldn't be a problem haha.

Trainee estimator/scheduler, £7.80/$12.50ish an hour, it can be boring at times but I'm learning a lot and there's room for growth

if you love the ocean, hawaii sounds like the perfect place for you haha

AMR EMT and medic pay is also comparable to city's pay, and they have it much easier, doing primarily IFT's, although they also have BLS and ALS rigs that do 911 calls.

How are the Honolulu sloots bro? Are they as sexy as everyone claims with grass skirts and feather necklaces?

Mailroom clerk
12/hr but make overtime regularly
The job is ok, but I don't get along with most people in the office so I kinda hate coming in. Wish I could just be left alone with my headphones in.

tons of chicks in a concentrated area (honolulu), especially asians. if you like asian chicks hawaii is the place to be. SoCal is comparable, but definately more concentrated and easier to find in honolulu, imo

I'm a musician. I'm definitely on that there poverty time, but I love what I do. I don't really feel like I ever work, I just hang out and do what I love all the time and get by financially. Just living a bohemian lifestyle in what feels like a parallel universe to everyone who is struggling with the daily grind of their jobs. I can't afford most luxuries like traveling, which is definitely a sacrifice, but I still travel more than most when touring with bands, even though it's not the same as you don't really have time to see much.

The most I've ever made in a month was a little over 4000$, but i's usually between 1500-2000, sometimes as low as 800. But I definitely enjoy it.

Tech consultant


It's alright sometimes. Hours are rather flexible have been holding out for a pay rise for ages, I do a lot of work outside my scope and general skillset which can be stressful at times when clients expect me to know everything in such a broad industry.


60k + computers/laptops
3rd of my salary comes from all the travel I do.
