Not in industry yet. Finishing CFA 3 in June. Considering Bankruptcy for old Debt. Am I unhirable?

Young and dumb me took out $50k in CC debt that is in collections 3+ years ago. For context, this is more than my (age 25) annual income and I qualify for Ch7 which would give me a fresh slate. I have started looking for work while studying for Level 3

Would a bankruptcy make me unhirable? What would it affect? I'm looking at analysis, operations, compliance. No interest in being an advisor

Thanks
