My first question would be: What do you WANT to do? If you love dog grooming, there is always a way to make it work... it may take time to build your clientele though...
For more common positions: There are usually some tourism positions, esp. for those fluent in Japanese. There are usually positions for nursing & early ed.... if you are interested in teaching with the DOE here, special ed positions are usually more needed.... all of this is with a few caveats... most positions requiring any certification, require Hawaii state certification...so you may want to see if you can get that or at least close to - Transfer & cross credits are easier as Alaska & U of Hawaii are WSR schools - link:

But there is such a range of positions... this place has astro-physicists to zoologists, and everything in between - but there aren't bunches of any jobs.... As you transition over, you may want to get known - even volunteer for something you may be interested in before you move & keep up the contacts....
ETA: as a "non-trad" student (read "old fart") It is never too late to get a good education....
and UH-Hilo is a very good school with some remarkable qualities.... although it is one of the least expensive state universities in the country, it has very small class size, top profs & some heavy duty resources
