Hang in there!
I was born in April 1941, 3 days before the city was bombed flat and 800 people killed. Things must have looked pretty bad for my parents and their little son - they must have wondered what sort of world they had brought me into. Well, I'm still here, and I've survived over 40 years in aviation. Its a great job and worth fighting for, so don't get too downhearted - things will improve and its better than working for a living!
