$15/hour just isn't going to cut it. With a Masters degree and 25+ years executive work experience, working fast food isn't a good fit.
So, filing bankruptcy is a better fit? Sounds like you have a pride issue. Humble yourself and get to work. Seriously. Do whatever it takes. And that also includes moving out of your place if needed.
Basically, he'd rather file bankruptcy than work. Bluntly put.
If your college degree has you out of work for an entire year and your only plan is to run your savings down to $0 and get thrown out of your $4,000 apartment and max out all the credit cards and file bankruptcy, then I'm sorry, but that doesn't sound like a good plan.
In an emergency any income beats no income.
My grandfather dug ditches when he was waiting for a job at General Motors. He didn't sit on his butt going "I don't want to dig ditches. Sure I have a mortgage and some kids, but oh well."
I've been reduced to unemployment checks and collecting scrap metal before, and it paid better than sitting on my butt hoping better days would come. They extended unemployment because we were in a recession, but it still only replaces about half your income. That hurts.
Yeah you put in applications, and follow up, but you have to keep the rent and the light bill paid, and put food on the table.
