I believe this is directly related to the Maui desk opening now being closed.

 

That's a big 10-4, Bandit.

This job just makes me think of HST's "The Curse of Lono."

 

based on research from income comparison sites, if you make $32K a year in southeastern portion of country, if you take this job at 40K, your yearly disposable income would take a $10,000 hit. Just something to think about.

 

Yes but you just ned to get a small second job to make up the difference lol
