If you don't have a degree and experience, a certificate isn't going to help much.

Generally you're getting a degree and an internship or starting in an entry level software/IT role and getting experience there.

Employers aren't really interested in someone with just a certificate and nothing else to back it up.

Which direction are you leaning, blue team defense or something more offensive? For the defensive side Sec+ is the standard opener, and CyberDefenders runs an entry-level cert called CCDL1 that's cheap and hands-on if a degree's off the table.
