When Your Fairytale Becomes a Nightmare
One of the best measures you can take to avoid "Cinderella Syndrome" is to remain positive yet realistic about the career field you plan on entering. For example, my dream career after graduation would be to work for Cosmopolitan, Glamour, or another major women's magazine. While I can certainly try to positions that may be open within those companies, I also know that I will be extremely lucky to land such a job on my first try.Maintaining a realist's view on the job market will certainly help you should you not get the job you had hoped for. At this rate, you should feel so honored to be a mail clerk at any company-- especially when so many are in hiring freezes. It's scary to think that some of the most educated, top-of-their-class graduates from the Class of 2009 may not have a job waiting for them.
The key thing to do is remain upbeat and remember that you are deserving of a great career. And one day, your job [or prince, as Cinderella would have it] will come.

You have made some excellent points. We also have to remember that patience is a virtue - so working as the mail clerk could just be the stepping stone.
