Moving to Maui

I was born on Maui and moved at a young age. Recently, I've been interested in moving back but have no idea where to start. I have a cat I would love to bring with me. There are a few sentimental items I would like to bring with me as well. I currently live on the east coast and would likely be renting when I move. I have experience working with children and working backstage in the arts, but are either of those routes worth pursuing because from what I was researching teachers don't make much compared to the cost of living. Am I better off looking for serving jobs? I'm truly sorry if this post isn't allowed. My mom moved to Maui in the late 80s and to the east coast in the early 2000s so talking to her about this isn't giving me a super accurate picture of what I might expect.
