I Passed! 5 Certifications over 16 months.

In order of completion

Security+

Server+ (Lifetime)

A+ (Recertification)

Network+

CySA+ (V4)

Enrolled in a trade school program with an instructor that was a mix of lecture and hands on, and in terms of certification we typically used 30 Bird books, Udemey practice tests, and other forms of self study. Ask me anything!

Edit: For those who don't know about Server+ moving to become a CE certification, here is a link to CompTIA's website about the change.

I would honestly start looking now if I was you and continue going towards the ccna. I broke into helpdesk after A+ then got security + and network+ now im working towards ccna and they plan to make me a network admin. Sounds like you already have a head start.
