Hawaii Colleges and Universities: Find Accredited Degree Programs

Published: November, 2010

Hawaii relies on a vibrant tourism culture for economic growth, and 110,300 local workers are employed in the leisure and hospitality industry across the state. From tour guides and tour equipment operators to hotel workers and management, a variety of careers are built on the millions of vacationers who visit the islands every year.

In addition to tourism, Hawaii's top employers are in the trade, transportation, and utilities industry. Transportation and logistics company Alexander & Baldwin has its headquarters in Honolulu, as does Hawaiian Electric. The industry as a whole employs about 121,100 workers in the state. Workers hoping to move up in this large industry might consider business-related degrees, such as business administration or accounting.

Growing industries in Hawaii include healthcare and professional and business services. Dental assistants in Honolulu earn $34,900 on average, according to Salary.com, while fully trained dental hygienists earn $68,200. Accountants in Honolulu earn starting salaries that average $45,200 annually. While no career training program can guarantee a particular career or salary, many jobs do have mandatory degree or training requirements.
