I mean, everyone is cutting back. It’s happening in every industry —including our own. But I think that’s going to translate into a situation where people aren’t motivated by money as much as they have been in the recent past. A lot of my friends from college went into fields like banking for financial reasons —obviously, people have school loans and things to pay off. And now, all of a sudden, they’re doing jobs that they hate, and they’re not making as much money as they thought they would, or they’ve lost their jobs entirely. So I’ve started to see people looking more toward their own passions and what really excites them.”
She go on , " Obviously , it ’s much easygoing to say that you ’re going to follow your passions when you ’re financially secure , but at least we can take solace in the fact that we now have the time to pursue the thing that we really need to prosecute because now the option of doing things just for the money is n’t necessarily there . "

In aTwitterstatement , she said , " I ’m so sorry for the way I have offended anyone and everyone who has seen the clip from my Instagram Live yesterday . I realize my words were insensitive and not at all appropriate for the situation our world and country are in decently now . "
