I would greatly appreciate any and all feedback!
I would love to learn cloud stuff like AWS, Azure and Google cloud. Cybersecurity is also on my radar.

AWS is big, but also crowded. GCP skills may be a way to differentiate from the crowd and grow with a fast growing area. Google is pushing a lot of investment into the tech as well as into getting and growing customers. My 2 cents as someone who's been in this field for quite a while.
How do I get into a DoD gig? If a company pays for my certs, I will obtain all that will help me progress further. Thanks for the info, its good to know all my options.
Look into staffing agencies to get your foot into the door. Many businesses (especially since COVID) is outsourcing their low lvl IT jobs for contractors. Google "staffing agencies" and start submitting your resume with them. Other nice thing about agencies is they make $$ when you are hired so they have an incentive to actually help u (vs me who is a corporate recruiter and I just want to hire the best person) .

CompTIA A+ is extremely basic but a good start. If you want to be in IT you need to get much more than that if you don't have the experience. I have A+, Net+, Sec+, Linux+, CCNA, CCSP, CEH, and I'm sure I'm forgetting more. Also hold degrees in IT Cybersec. Guess what, they WANT MORE lol. Keep building good sir.

I just watched a 1-hr video on YouTube the day before and passed. This first exam "aws practitioner" is very easy. I work in IT, but don't do anything related to AWS/cloud at my job. Still it was easy. I can't find it now, but it was one of the top 10 search results.
This is my personal ranking for hardest to easiest.
1) Solutions Architect Professional (10+/10 hard, super long and tiring questions, basically you barely have time to read all the questions and answers)
2) Advanced Networking Specialty ( 9/10 hard, I don't do much networking concepts at work)
3) Machine Learn Specialty ( 9/10 hard, very different exam, focuses actually on Machine Learning rather than AWS services unlike the other tests. Actual graphs and ML algorithms you need to learn)
4) DevOps Engineer Professional (8/10, came naturally to me since I do DevOps at work)
5) Data Analytics ( 7.5/10, not too difficult or tricky)
6) Database Specialty ( 7/10, didn't have to study much since it overlaps a lot with SA Pro)
7) Solutions Architect Associate (7/10, first test I took so I'm biased, I got the lowest score of all my exams here)
8) Security Specialty( 6/10, very straightforward to me compared to other Specialty exams).
9) SysOps Associate (6/10, I took this test last, it would be harder if I took this first. Labs were pretty straight forward if you use AWS)
10) Developer Associate (4/10, easiest test for me)
11) Cloud Practitioner ( 2/10)
Recommended PAID courses to help you pass the exams and also learn.
1) Adrian Cantril courses- His course for SA Associate, SA Pro, and Advanced Networking was my foundation to passing all the certificates.
2) Jon Bonso's exams on Tutorial's Dojo- The explanation's on why the answer was the correct one over others help a lot!

Was kinda nuts. Pay range was $4,200-$5,800 monthly. That said, the experience requirement is kinda nuts. A government IT job is ideally where I'd like to be (been toying around with PC stuff for 25 years now) but I don't learn well from reading and taking tests. I learn by on the job experience and those positions are hard to come by and are generally reserved for people already enrolled in school.
No idea what any of the certifications mean these days, I think there was C++ offered some 20 years ago and some MS office classes, but a couple years ago I taught myself how to inject files/drivers into a windows.iso so I could install Windows 10 on a laptop from 2010. Seemed cool and challenging I guess, but likely completely useless to throw on a resume. lol

Not sure where you are from, but maybe check your local government jobs, lots of various IT positions and especially for IT support like service/help desk.

His response was that you need to do work as a help desk tech before you are allowed anywhere near a multi million dollar network. You need to have many years of experience with a big network before you are allowed in a cloud server room and you need to have many years of experience in a cloud server room before you're trusted with cyber security.
These aren't jobs you can read or study your way into. You need years of demonstratable experience before you get an "entry level cloud networking position", as the amount of liability and money at stake is very high.
Also, the Cisco certifications are much more heavily valued than an A+ cert.
Have you considered moving into a technical role in the healthcare industry? Healthcare workers are generally very bad with technology. They are always looking for people to train medical personnel on how to use software or handle IT related issues around the facility.
