If I filed bancruptcy and was discharged, would I still have to pay back the creditors once I get a good paying job?

You needed to listen better to your attorney.

Once it is discharged, it is discharged, the creditors can not even by law contact you

[AW805]

Not all debts are discharged. Assuming that the debts were discharged then the creditor cannot try to collect. If a creditor attempts collection on a discharged debt, you can file a motion with the court reporting their efforts and asking the case to be reopened to address the matter. The creditor could be fined by the court.

Mine was discharged 5 yrs ago. It's a done deal. I've been working since but that debt is gone forever.

That's what the bankruptcy process and discharge does.
