What to do?

Alright, I don't have the bankroll to play any tourney higher than 10+1 right now, no matter how solid I play, I can't get away from some horrible play. I've gotten back door flushed, straighted, paired full house anything that can happen that knocks me out just before the money. This last tournament i played a whopping 11% of hands made it to the second break to get knocked out 30 away from the money in a tourney of over 1000 entrants to someone calling all in on the flop with only Q high, catching the back door straight to knock me out. I try so hard not to get angry, but I fight so hard, I can never build a stack against fish in these tourneys. It pisses me off thinking that the people who win these things are just lucky f***s who don't deserve it. The best hand I saw all tourney was QQ to 3 all in's in front of me. I would have won to A4, A9, and AJ goin all in preflop. I'll work on the not getting angry part, but what must i do differently. I've done well in the gauntlet. Hell, I'm 24th and the highest ranked player to not cash yet with an average finish of 8th. Could someone give me some ideas. I seriously am getting very frustrated playing against total morons. I'm not getting paid off enough from their stupid play. I'm playing .05/.10 tables to stay well under my BR right now, and sure I make a couple dollars just to blow them in tournament entries at night that I lose and start and come out at +0 for the day. I'm putting in a lot of hours (Christmas Break) and not getting anywhere. I'm hoping this will only make me stronger down the road, but if I can never get out of this level of play, then I'll never make nearly the profits I think I'm capable of. Like I said I feel i'm playing very solid poker. I've got a few ideas of things i need to improve but I'm really asking for some advice on this issue.

Play ring games for a while to build your roll first. I've found that it's very hard to use MTTs to build a a roll with any kind of consistancy.

One win = insta-roll. Also as i'm trying to tell a lot of people lately, Smaller fields equals less variance and more consistent money. Large fields are for long-term. For those trying to build a roll, stay away.
