Thanks!
I love linux so I can see myself focusing on that in the future.
I was already studying for Sec+ a long time ago and I find the material a lot easier to grasp than networking generally. My plan is to begin looking for a job once I complete the LPI essentials, Sec+, and A+. Once I have some experience, I want to branch off to the CCNA and take my time studying for it.
I figure that after I have some hands on experience the material for networking will be easier to grasp, and it seems like CCNA is a bit more applied and is more in line with my long-term goals generally.
