New Poll

  • Post author:

I had another idea for a new poll but that plan has been pushed out of a 20 story building by a new topic that demands some attention.

When Natalie’s interview with Jake Gyllenhaal came out there was a lone commenter called Nephi, who expressed some distaste at one of Natalie’s answers. I read it again and truly didn’t see anything inflammatory about it.

But Nephi is not alone because more recently there’s been a spicy debate on the forum and apparently some other sites are picking up on it, although largely editing the full quote. So, let’s start with what she said.

But actually, as far as the more general state of things right now, I think it’s kind of an exciting time. 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. Obviously it’s much easier 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 things that we really want to pursue because now the option of doing things just for the money isn’t necessarily there.
