Autodidactic programer looking for guide

First sorry for my regular english.

I have some studies but im the type of person that dont like going to school. I also have the facility to learn quick, naturally i have always passed my exams without caring or estuding at all in the year, working the last night. I also very poor to study without having to reduce my life to study+work.

Im just wondering how many autodidactic programers exists and if they can give me some advices.

Im wondering for example, in what things i cannot find in the internet or in the library. What type of information that you recive in university, for example.

This is what i know for now. I dont think its much, i think i waste too time, xDDD.

-I know modular structures programing, like C. But i dont know very well memory managament.
-I know OO. Not a high-level OO but a decent one.
-I program or know several languages: ruby, perl, python, php, bash, vb, c, c#, psql and java.
-I know sdl, forms, swing, rgss and gtk. I like game programing.

Im looking to know what things i can do to improve more, and what type of things i need to be better programer.

For example now im learning Design Patterns in Java. Very interesting. But i suppose that there will be a lot of other things, like studying algorithms, and so on.

So thats the idea. Give me some advice about what thinks and options i can learn.

Also, i dont like regular simple exercices. I prefer to memoritze the interface, sintaxis and libraries and make the just exercices that i need(is more quick, more time saving on spending in boring things). Im always taking notes of all and making summaries and sketches that i can read again very quick.

Now i want to make a trully standalone progam, because i just created a few scripts and systems, but very simple. Im thinking in create something in Java thats interesting and useful and also needs the design patterns and advance in my OO knowledges.

For last, ¿there is some way that you can get jobs just offering your works?
