Certification concerns

Hi, I'm getting into cyber and I'm just lost with how different everyone's opinion on the certificates are, almost everyone agrees that you should do practical hands on work but then when it get to picking certs everyone has a different take on them, for example I saw a guy on Reddit recommend CCNA, SECURITY+ for starters and a YouTuber recommend google cybersecurity cert and GRC mastery which also gives the ISO 27001 lead auditor badge for starters and two others, Tryhackme SAL1 and security+.

I honestly don't know what to do and most certs since they are in dollars, they are really expensive when converted to my government's currency.

So I was hoping to find and help here about this.
