is there anything else i should learn after i learn full CFOP i have memorized full oll and pll and i average around 20 seconds. Should i just work on my f2l or is there any other algs that would be usefull to learn now or later
 
There is a lot of stuff that would be worth learning. Rather than seeing what people suggest on here, my advice would be to read through old posts in threads and in the speedsolving wiki about CFOP variants. Have a look at what interests you, and what you might think would help, and learn that. It's best to learn what you want rather than what others to tell you to do.
 
You should improve on your F2L and LL recognition, with the algorithms you know, you can easily sub-15, and apparently you can sub-10 with a lot of determination and practice.
 
Learn lookahead. If you are 20 seconds, and full OLL and PLL, then your F2L is probably very inefficient. Turn slower, look for pieces, etc etc.
 
It was sarcasm but that doesn't mean you should rule it out, I actually have more fun learning algorithms than speedsolving 'cause my 22 second average depresses me. Once I've learnt full OLL (I already know full PLL) I'll learn full COLL and then from there learn maybe some ZBLL.. not sure :D
 
Start figuring out all sorts of intuitive 'tricks' like work on X-cross, multislotting, alternate F2L inserts for edge control, ways to use open slots to reduce moves like using R2 U' R' U R2 instead of longer algs and to avoid rotations. Learn to recognize a few easy OLS cases like
R U2 R' , R U R' U' R U' R' , R' F R F' , M' U R U' r' , etc.

I'd recommend learning some fast COLL and OLLCP algs once you learn recognition for them, rather than jumping into to 2GLL or ZBLL or something.

Learning COLL will barely get you sub-20. Improve on your F2L
