There's a lot of embedded DSP work, so it's probably a good thing to learn. That said, I know almost nothing about it, so I can tell you it's not required for most work. What IS required is to know C, inside and out - that's what you'll use, 99% of the time; often very little or no OS support. Try to unlearn what you know about C++ and C#.

What IS required is to know C

That's good to know. I suspected. I know C++ pretty well (for a human), I just need to get a book and learn the parts of C that don't cross over, and how to write "idiomatic C."
