I am wondering what the job market is like for Dental Hygienists? I am a recent graduate and am looking to relocate to Hawaii (my boyfriend went to college there) and officially begin my life. Any information would be helpful. Thank you!

Trust me "Forget It".

No jobs, low pay and high cost of living.

UH has a dental hygiene program, so I suspect that there's plenty of trained DH already here, but you never know. My dentist actually did my last cleaning, which was weird.
I'd never had that happen before. I figured he proably wasn't that busy.

Ha! Most of the mid-westerners stay in their states. I've got a pile of cousins in Kansas and some of them have gotten entirely crazy and vacationed in NEBRASKA! Imagine that! Do they ever visit me? No! Thirty years and only one of the Kansas cousins has visited - they all want me to visit them in Kansas. Sigh!

As far as employment goes for dental technicians, that is one of the few jobs I almost always see a listing for in the Hilo newspaper. I think you have a very employable skill and since it is a skilled job you may be able to apply for it from the mainland, although usually employers prefer to hire local folks if they can.

Which island were you interested in moving to?

Based on your profession, you should have less of a tough time than others!

most ppl do stay. but EVERYONE always talks about getting out. very few actually do & many move back surprisingly fast lol

i left b/c there's no great job opportunities, the weather is awful 6 months out of the year & you're surrounded by corn fields for hundreds of miles. (ok maybe not corn, but bean or wheat or some type of field) there's nothing that bad about most of the midwest but there are definitely better & nicer places to live.
