Longest talk with someone that I don't really close with me

Obviously, I'm seriously down after I got my result for my CPA (Professional paper) after the second try. I failed again.... Lot of things came into my mind, sitting alone in my place in office, storming whether I should continue with this paper, whether I should find someone to talk to, whether I should stop, and more and more things come in again, time, money, effort.....

I messaged to some friends that I really close to, some ask me don't give up, just try again...
Some asked me whether I'm really into accounting path...
Some asked me stop without a second thinking...
My head just gonna crack after having all the feedback....I just don't know how to tell my parents...my family..I feel so shame....They might think that I never work hard enough for something so important, but do they really know how much effort I had put in?
So I decided to talk to my boss, my younger boss, his name is Alvin ( I used to call him Alvin and the chipmunks among my colleagues - because he is short and cute hahaha, not really cute though).

I have sent him email to ask whether he is free after working hour, he replied with yes and he is very happy to do so...

After working hours and everyone has left the office, I just take a chair and sit beside him...just tell him I got my result, fail, feel very down, don't know what should I do after this...
He just started to talk with me, asking whether the study method I'm using is correct, strategies when I'm doing my exam...and he start telling me how he did his CPA paper last time as well...

So come to a point that I ask him is CPA holder really important in society today. He gave me 2 example...
1. working in small-medium firm like what I'm in, experience is totally more important than education, he told me that a senior that is working in my firm for nearly 20 years has no qualification, but he says that senior meant a lot to the firm, because of her experience.
2. working in commercial line, education is important. Lets say you have so so so so much experience in audit field, you get out from the firm and go to commercial line, with your experience, when there is promotion, people who has the qualification definitely will beat your ass up. BECAUSE YOUR EXPERIENCE WOULD NOT APPRECIATE BY OTHERS IN OUTSIDE WORLD. When this came out from his mouth, it seriously hit me dam hard.

He said that, "if I tell you education is not important, I am lying to you". He says CPA is expensive, but you can earn your money back. He told me that come to some point, someone out there will surely appreciate your knowledge and give you a good offer. He says im still very very very young, I can try again again and again...

I felt that what my boss told me is right, the world out there is materialistic. I shouldn't give up on a thing that failed me twice so easily. I will work harder for it. Set my strategies when I'm going for exam, study smart!

Thanks Alvin!
