Despite calling it his dream job and spending years imagining how personally satisfying it would be to work in the field, Joshua Lucas told reporters this week that his lifelong goal to work at a major record label was no match for his first brush with adversity. Ever since I can remember Ive wanted to work at one of the big three record companies putting out music for bands I love, but when the slightest hurdle presented itself I realized its just not possible, the 24-year-old said after receiving a brief email from Warner Music Group saying that he had been passed over for a job opening he applied to. Its difficult to let go of your ambitions, but when youve wanted something for so long, decide to go for it, and then run into a minor obstacle at the outset, you realize there are some dreams that arent meant to be. There are some odds you just cant beat. Lucas added that although his dream was ultimately dashed by this one setback, he was able to take some solace in knowing that the deck was stacked against him to begin with.
