Pay scale questions

Hello I’m 23 currently making around 1-1.2k a week doing automotive I would roughly guess. But this is just not enough for me to buy a house and live how I want to. I have 3 certificates and hoping for a raise soon. My main Trouble now is that I’m considering doing something else. I like working on cars but money comes first. I’m pretty smart and well motivated to work but feel like my shop is the only reason I’m making money cause we get lots of work everyday. I don’t feel job security but I don’t have much experience with being at other shops. Do you think it’s worth continuing in this work force to make a possibly 1.6-1.8k a week or am I delusional. Any hope how are you guys doing at your shop you making money?
