I feel for you. And I am a nefarious procrastinator so giving you this unsolicited advice is completely hypocritical.
The CPA exams are completely unnecessary. They sound like another excuse to procrastinate. Getting a job should be #1. Having the CPA exams done before being employed doesn't give you anything extra. Employers aren't going to buy that you've been treating it as a full time job, because it's not. People study for the exam while they have a job. My brother got an accounting job right out of school.
Also, I have a feeling your interview skills suck and you don't know how to sell yourself. Why not apply for some jobs you would never take just for the practice? Start with McDonald's. It will give you more confidence and experience for the real interviews. Getting a job offer feels good. Have you ever gotten one? Even from a fast food joint?
There are a billion places with interview advice and their all good. Interview tactics may seem cheesy, but its what most interviewers are looking for despite that.
That being said it seems like your parents are willing to continue to support you, and you're fortunate enough that you don't live at home. So you are actually taking an optimal approach, who wouldn't?
This is exactly why if Roberto and I adopt a son, I will refuse to support him after some time after he graduated to kick his ass in gear. As my father did to me. Your parents are a little less selfish than me or mine. I wouldn't want to pull someone's weight after they are capable of pulling their own.
