Angry burnt valve?

hello....
i have a 93 grand am 2.3 sohc. 4 cyl
I barely made it home last week with the following problems........
lost of horsepower, very little acccelaration, very rough idling and stalling.the machanic replaced 2ign. coils, sparkplugs (#1&2 were bad) fuel filter and 4 boots. it was better, but not 100%, then he did a compression test.... he said the # 2 valve was burnt.
now the questions..........
is this possible ?
do i get a head job ? ( very costly ).
get another engine ? ( " " " ).
junk the car ?
get another machanic?


Thanks for anyones help...... Paul
