Starting career off right

Im 21 years old ,live in houston and graduated school this month with a Heavy Vehicle & Diesel Technician C1 certification. I work at a car service shop we do oil changes, brakes, and alot of suspension work. Since my manager realized i was graduating soon he’s been unprofessional and started messing with my hours by sending me home or telling me to not come in. It was required by my school to have a “mechanic” job to graduate so i accepted anyone who would give me a chance. Prior to school i had 0 experience in the field.

I used to get 39 hours a week since Ive been hired while going to school and since I graduated ive been getting 10-12 hours a week.

In houston i cant find much jobs accepting graduates with little experience. Should i go to a automotive dealership and learn while getting experience in a flat rate environment or stay at my current job and keep job hunting?

Any advice is greatly appreciated
