Help me convince my girlfriend to quit her job and do this instead...

Hello people of Steemit,

I wanted to share with you a few of my girlfriends amazing fruit carving creations in the hope that this post will convince her that she is wasting her talents working for a boss that does not appreciate her.

A little background

My girlfriend currently works for a restaurant as a sous-chef for very little money. She travels a 3 hour round trip 5 times a week which pretty much eats up a big chunk of her wage just in fuel. Even though she has worked for her boss for nearly six years he refuses to give her a pay rise or offer her any money for travelling. Now you maybe thinking, why doesn't she just leave? Well, I have asked this same question MANY times and I really think it is due to confidence or lack of. My girlfriend has amazing talents and I believe that she just needs a bit of confidence to make her realise that her amazing talents are wasted working for a company that does not appreciate her. I am hoping that this post on Steemit will giver her that confidence and maybe even a little cash to start her own business creating these amazing fruit carving creations.

Here are a few examples of what she has created:








As you can see she has an amazing talent. Hopefully the feedback from this post will help her realise that she can do much better than working for a boss who doesn't appreciate her...

@thebigweb Due to the large number of id thefts and other issues it would be great if you could do a Steemit verification along with your girlfriend to prove that the ownership of this content belongs to you guys! As you can understand we've faced a lot of issues with regard to content theft. Your post will be better received by the community once this is through.

Thanks for sharing this with us and I hope you have a great time writing at Steemit in the future. Cheers!

Sure, how do I do that?

Make a post with a photo of you, your girlfriend and her work in a single frame!

What he said and please edit the post and add to it or post it in the comment section to avoid the risk of being flagged. Thanks.

That's beautiful! Can you prove it's her work somehow?

Thank you

I setup a website for her years ago so she could offer fruit carving lessons but she doesn't think she is good enough so the website has been pretty much abandoned. I'm wanting her to get her confidence back so she can start it up again. Here's the website - http://www.fruitcarvinglessons.co.uk/about/

Sorry Patrick, Had to verify! I like your alias. :)

Thank you :)

What's your name?

Hi! This post has a Flesch-Kincaid grade level of 9.6 and reading ease of 72%. This puts the writing level on par with Michael Crichton and Mitt Romney.

Wow these are fantastic! She should totally make some kind of business out of this if it's something she enjoys! That's the important thing here, to make sure she's happy with what she's doing. There's no point in doing something that makes you miserable.

Thank you :)
