I hear you but then, the devil you know goes bankrupt, and the baskets in which you were supposed to put your precious eggs aren't that many anymore, or strong enough, or even baskets, just a couple of twigs.

So you try to pull yourself up by your bootstraps, but you're not sure you're talented enough to pull it through. Even if you were, though, it could take you years to make a living out of your new venture, because that's the nature of the beast.

All you want to do is curl up in fetal position under your duvet, with the sole consolation of knowing so many fascinating English idioms.

But you don't. You put on a brave face and go out, ready to withstand the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.

This, and the "basket" another one mentioned. For smaller language pairs, large agencies achieved almost monopoly status (the 'basket with all the eggs' became the only option for years). What should be asked before anyone replies: "Is this your only income? Do you pay your own rent? Do you live in a cheap or expensive country?". Otherwise everything is tainted by the bias of personal circumstances.

There's no sense of irony is there.
I was probably like that - as a teenager.
