  • Guam is a US territory, so if you're a US citizen you should have no problem relocating there. Their main industry is tourism. As far as employment opportunities go, check out these websites: http://board.classifieds1000.com/Guam http://www.guamdol.net/content/view/12/48/ http://www.jobsabroad.com/GuamUSA.cfm
  • I lived on Guam (no one there says "in Guam," since that means "in the ground") 1997-99. Take a visit first. There are two ways to get there from the U.S. mainland. Fly from either Honolulu or Narita (Tokyo). It's actually easier and faster through Japan. Asiana Airlines (a Korean carrier) used to have a deal with a day stay in central Seoul en route, but that was before the new airport was built in Incheon. If you like what you see, during your visit, take a visit to some companies and government agencies you think you might like to work for. It's about the size of Singapore but it has less than 150,000 people. It has two public school systems, civilian and military. That tells you something about how the military feels about the quality of the education there. The beaches are great. You can eat almost any kind of food in a restaurant you like. But you do feel isolated. Property values tend to be high but incomes tend to be lower than the mainland. It's a good place to retire. I worked as a public school teacher there. I was laid off in the middle of my second year teaching because someone mislaid $300,000. The public/nongovernmental sector offers some great employment opportunities. But you must go there first to check it out. http://guampdn.com/ This is the website for the Pacific Daily News, the local Guam newspaper.
