Knowing C is a bit like knowing how to use a pen, one is essential to
programming as the other is essential for writing, but by itself it can't
tell you what to write.
If you can write GUIs in Visual Basic then you can write them in C - the
control flow structures of both langauges are similar, and even the
functions have similar names. Underneath they are calling the same code,
usually.

Ultimately a computer has got to something not connected with IT if it is to
be useful. So what are your interests outside of computing? Can these be
turned into a simple game, a business application, something for the home?
