Must know Topics

Question

Hey guys,
  I'm new when it comes to the C# language(6 months). I dedicate a few hours everyday to learning this craft. Most likely I will never end up going to school for this topic due to financial strain. I wanted to know if someone can break down the NEED TO KNOW topics of C# if I want to start a career in this field.
Im not looking to rush, but I enjoy learning C# alot and it would be a dream to make a living out of this.
Also, what would be the best way for me to get my feet wet and get some real experiance under my belt?
*Im not looking to make money now, I just want to get confident in my coding skills.
 
Thanks in advance
