    None of your subscribers had any shred of doubt you would come prepared and pass the certification, you are such a skilled chef!
    Honestly I would expect lots of yachts would love to have someone with your youtube skills on board as a part of their brand building and marketing. (And I do really half expect to see you working in TV in the future if that was something you had an interest in)

    Props to you for being eager to learn something new. Even if there’s a good chance that a large part of any given culinary course would be familiar to you, if you can pick up a tip or two, or if something inspires you to give your own twist to the mundane, it will have been worth it. Plus, especially for someone heading back to the job market, it’s good to get some practice cooking while being pressured by people who aren’t your loving friends and family.
