Company Sec had two employment options
1) Work for people
2) Open own firm

For option 1
There are limited offers but many candidates. That is why your boss say no use.

For Option 2
You need to have good contacts to build a clientele base. As such, it takes a long time to establish a decent income out of it. Again that is why your boss say no use.

What most people do with an ICSA is use it as a back door into ACCA. The ACCA offer a lot of exemptions for ICSA holders.

My advise is complete your ICSA then go for ACCA. After a getting enough experience you have the option to open your one stop management service center.

Never look down on ICSA.

By the way, I know a few accountants in public listed companies who had taken this path.
