Here is a company that may give you an idea what type of work is popular in Hawaii. There is another one I know, but I can't think of the name now. About the local culture, it's different from the Mainland, I'm sure you know. It's more layback. None of that Mainland attitude or style.
People drive that much one way on the mainland.
My answer to that is, there are planes, and the internet, that will take you anywhere in the world.
