Like many others already said. Being self taught is ok, but employers need at least some kind of confirmation about your skills. So getting some kind of officisl certificate will make your job search a lot easier.
Microsoft offers a bunch of .NET certificates if you do their C# courses for example. You can also become a certified Linux professional.
Find something that interests you and then start learning by doing some tutorials. The most important thing is that you have fun and won't burn yourself out working in a field you don't enjoy.
Where I'm from there's demand for Web Devs, Java devs, .NET devs, It Support, Network Engineers, Embedded systems, whatever.
