But as BD said, it never hurts either to keep looking because you never know when something better, that you might enjoy more and pays more, might come along.
Either way it is always good to build up those contacts. Just talking to various people I know and my professors, it is not necessarily about your skills, but about who you know that will help you get a job, or more importantly a job you enjoy and want.
And just as a reference, I'd look up your minimum wage rates and compare those too. Realistically, most college grads will probably making about that unless they got some experience. Since you already have some, that'll work in your favor. If you know you can already do quality work and you can get your current boss to back that up, even better. People like workers that they can depend on and delivery quality work. So with what you got and what BD has said, I'd say you are in pretty good shape already.

Re: Salary range?
Since you enjoy what you are doing, keep doing it. I might suggest that since you are so close, either major in accounting or graduate and get your MBA in accounting.
Get your CPA.
Then you have a job you enjoy that actually pays well.
I would think the CPA you work for now would support and sign off on your experience allowing you practice straight out of college.
Might even get a partnership out of the deal, who knows.
The odds of ever owning your own CPA practice are slim to none without that gold star.
