Stay In Job/Taxes

Hi Open Space. I currently owe Revenue Canada $1800 due to my employer not deducting enough off of my paycheques last year. I guess I was a little bit cavalier and self-deceptive in not looking over my paystubs carefully, but then again I've never been subject to an error of this magnitude. On some level I wanted to just stay in my job because it had potential to improve and because I feel I should stay in this field until at least my 38th year.

Currently I've been able to make my agreed upon monthly payments and then some, but I'm living quite poor and not able to save at all. The problem is, my job just hired *another* guy, who will also work on Thursday, apparently full-time, not on-call, which would be far less threatening. So going forward, unless this guy leaves or the business grows, I'll be making less on Thursdays than I do now, or than I otherwise would. The company I work for is moronically managed and is a vanity project for money laundering, but I'm good at my job and I have a passion for what I do, and I get good days off, which would be hard to get elsewhere in the same field.

My real name is Merle, by the way, I use this Jeremy monicker because it sounds stupid, and I find it funny, and because it helps me to think about myself and my life more objectively. My question is, should I try to stick with my job at least until my tax debt is paid off, or should I jump ship, in the hopes that I can get a job that is less competitive with more stable pay. Thanks for this service that you offer. I'm sure it helps you grow as a person.
