When should I move on and what's the workplace typically like?

I'm 18 and started my first job 2 months ago. I really like it, it's 4am-8am so I don't need to worry about customers or talking to people, and my co-workers are lovely, even the managers. I'd keep it forever if It weren't a part-time job, which really bums me out because If I could live on £500 a month, I would. But no one can move out with that, not even if I moved out with someone else. I'm just afraid that i'll get a full-time job and hate it, and the last thing I want is to miss my current job. I just want to know what work is typically like. I don't mind getting on with work, I do that anyway, but what are the managers usually like? Only recently I became good at my job, I was terrible before we got new equipment yet no one told me off, they just encouraged me, and I know not every manager or team leader is that nice. I don't want be in my mid twenties and still living with my mum, I want to move out at at least 23. But I don't know when to start looking for work?

    I know you like your current job, but you have to remember the main reason you go to work in the first place; to get paid. I'm not too fond of my current job, it is hard backbreaking labor, my managers suck, but it's the best paying job I've had yet and that's why I've been there for five years. The funnest job with the coolest managers and awesome co workers paid me 8.50, but at my current job I'm making almost double that at 14.50.

    I get you...you don't want to leave an awesome job...but you gotta take care of yourself financially, especially as you will no doubt start racking up bills in the upcoming years.
