Serious question out of interest and because I was facing a similar question to my sunset:
How do residents of the Virgin Islands call themselves? Virginers?
Lol good question and that's an amazing guess. It's island-specific - if you're from St. Croix, you're a Crucian. If it's St. Thomas, you're a St. Thomian, etc.
I don't mind at all, @honeybumblebee. There are lots of Virgin Islands; if you're British, you can work in the BVI and if you're a US citizen, you can work in the USVI and so on.

It is expensive to live here. Jobs are easy to get if you are relatively sober and you aren't a total lunatic. You can get a job working on a boat in the day, or being a server at a restaurant. In the tourist season (Thanksgiving to Easter), you will make tons of money. The money you make will easily offset the expense of living here.

The tricky part is finding a place to live. Since the hurricanes, a lot of structures blew away or became compromised. There is a ton of competition to rent a place, and they go for insane amounts of money per month. No one will rent to you until you move to the island and get a job, so you kinda have to take a scary leap of faith. I love it, though. It's a kooky little place with lots of fun, crazy people.
