For those who are seeking legitimate ways to relocate abroad, I wish you success.
Let me tell you this: you will have to put your Masters degrees, social status, and "I was a bank manager" on the side and do whatever job first comes your way to survive first. Common jobs that I know come easily in the USA are in the healthcare (home health aides), security, and retail workers. While the first two require some training which are mostly affordable and accessible, the retail jobs require no experience for entry levels-- you will be trained on the job. The pay may not be exactly what you wished for, but do I need to tell you that half bread is better than none here?
Disregard anybody's mockery of any jobs you chose to do. We value and respect every job here. It doesn't matter to anyone whether you wash butts, or clean toilets, or work in a bank, work in IT, or stock shelves. As long as it earns you legit money to cater for your needs nobody cares or makes fun of you here. Many people do those jobs amidst other options and live good.
While you are doing what you don't like to survive, you'll be building experience and working towards what you want.
As for those who are hoping to stay illegally with a visiting visa, please, don't do it.
