Will filing bankruptcy affect my ability to keep my job?

[Anonymous]

I am a single mom making $83k. I work as a Federal contractor in DC. I have been working with a debt management company to clear my debt of close to $25k for over a year. In September, my second Federal loan of $285 kicks in and I cannot see where I'd be able to get the money to cover it. My balance after all expenses is $60 per month. During a conversation with the counsellor at the debt management company to review my budget, a conversation about filing bankruptcy came up. Because I work as a government contractor, I was not sure how that would affect my ability to stay employed or how it will impact my employability in the future. Anyone with advise or information about this? Also, can you recommend any bankruptcy attorneys in the DMV (MD specifically)?

I'm not sure if you can hold a security clearance while in bankruptcy.
