Should I move to the Bahamas?
I'm still in high school but after college I'm looking into moving to the Bahamas. I would like to know what kind of jobs I should be looking into and how much money I'll need. What part of the Bahamas would be best to move into and if I should even move out of the United States. Thanks in advance.
If you are serious about moving to the Bahamas, or any caribbean country, I suggest you get a degree in one of the sought after fields like medicine, teaching or Finance.
Without some "special" education, you will not get a work permit and will not be able to set up residency in the bahamas.
There's a lot of hoops to jump thru, and a lot of $$$ to put up in order to make this happen.
Jobs in the tourist /bar/ restaurant/ industry are not given to foreigners. Unless, of course, you have the money to open your own place, and employ locals.
Be aware that Living In The Bahamas is not all paradise. The day to day week is much like back at home, except that it's hot and humid.. all the time. Crime is at an all time high. The cost of living is 30% higher than New York City, and there are few luxuries except for the sun.
You should try renting a house for a month or so.. try getting around town and not partying like a tourist.

how does it feel to live on an island?
I currently live in California and want to move out of here after college and go the Bahamas. Tell my why you would or would not live on an island.
Martinique and Guadeloupe nare some of my other choices
Think about your daily, weekly, etc. range. Do you make road trips to Vegas? Occasionally drive to the wine country? When you're on an island, your range is limited to that island and planes/boats away from any other place.
Consider the population of the town too... if there are only 10,000 people on the island, you'll see the same people every day you're there. Contrast that with a big city like LA, where you can spend your whole life there and never see the same face twice (not really, but hopefully you get the point).
If you spend all day, every day in the same few square miles, then maybe living on an island would be about the same as living anywhere else. Some people like to roam around, and for them island-fever can set in.
Other drawbacks to island life are the price of goods which must be brought in from other places - there aren't any interstate highways or rail into the islands.
If you have a chance, go for it. If you don't like it you can always come back. This is the best time for you to do it, since you probably don't have a house full of furniture and stuff. Shipping costs of moving from a mainland to an island and back can exceed the value of the items moved.
