In December, I will complete a Bachelor's degree in accounting, and my job hunt will begin.
Unfortunately, when I went back to school, I incurred a lot of debt, and am having a hard time meeting the payments. I have retained an attorney to handle a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, but I have yet to file because I'm concerned about the impact it will have on future employment prospects. I'm aware that employers will be very leary, especially given the profession I have chosen to enter. My question to those who are already working in the field is, which looks worse: absolutely horrible credit or a bankruptcy with a discharge of all debts. Does (or did) your credit play a significant role in determining if someone will hire you as an accountant?
I took a huge chance when I decided to pursue another degree and I would hate to see all my hard work and sacrifice be in vain.
Thanks in advance for any responses.
