My advice: Go out and find another job. Put your resume on Monster under a fake name/email address. Make sure your company doesn't know you're looking. When you have an offer in your hand, that's when you tell your boss/company. Either they will match and perhaps beat the offer, or if they don't, then you take the other job.

If you tell them your plans now, they may just go ahead and fire you right away. If you say you want a raise and will leave if you don't get one, they may just assume that you're going to leave at some point, and they will want you to leave on their terms instead of on your terms.
