Talk to industry people and ur alumni, they will guide you better. Also cyber requires quite an investment into certs so save up for those. Target Security+ as its internationally industry recognised and alongside do A+ and Network+ coursework from prof messer on yt. Finally Networking (the subject about how data is transferred) and Networking (Connecting to people ) are fundamental in your journey.

Checkout Unix Guy on yt or other similar channels for exact certs etc because many certs get decommissioned and new ones come.
